Corresponding to the verb 'catching', there is no information available about the 'batsman' or 'fielder', except the implication of the action 'catching'.
However, there is neither the direct mention of the word 'batsman' nor the appropriate player name.
My one hope is that the batsman will up and swipe the wicket-keeper one over the ear.
That would be a useful facility when a batsman is declared to be out somewhat suspiciously for being caught behind or lbw.
That this is more than conventional congratulations is indicated by the splendid team of batsmen which his opening bowling has attracted.
Their worst behaviour is to run on to the ground to try to shake a batsman's hand in a friendly sort of way.
We had another team opposite, some old familiar faces and some new batsmen, bowlers, or whatever they may be.
Even in the realm of cricket, we find there is a tendency to judge batsmen merely by their averages.
