Introductory contest

So one of the best attractions of watching cricket matches as a kid was the Classic Catches Contest the channel would run.

Here is how it ran:
-5 or 6 of the best catches from the series/tournament would be shown.
-They would be ranked by the commentary panel in descending order of difficulty level/skill etc
-The audience had to rank them too and mail them in.
-The closest you were to the judge, the better were the chances of your victory.

I want to bring it back so here is my effort to do so.

I have chosen 6 catches at random. I am in the process of having them ranked by the judges, chosen from Twitter and cricket blogosphere.
