    How to improve your diving catches:

    "There’s no better sight in cricket then a fielder diving at full length and taking a stunning catch. The key to taking the catch is to leap from a low, powerful position, towards the line of the ball. Try to get your head and eyes as near to the line of the ball as possible. So you can watch the ball right into the palm of your hands.

    When landing, try to land on your stomach, and not your elbows. Otherwise the ball might pop out when you hit the ground."

    Flat catch When the balls coming in hard and flat, you need soft hands and bravery to take the catch.
