TheBloke (TM) accused me of catching with crocodile hands. He is basing this on one incident, many months ago. Actually, out of the many, many sporting things I do extremely badly, I'm not that terrible at catching. Someone at work even said once, "You don't catch badly - for a girl." I took that as praise.
Though TheBloke (TM) is convinced I catch with crocodile hands.
He was trying to prove to me earlier that I don't catch well. This was complicated by the fact I was lying down at the time and he was lobbing a tennis ball at me. It's very hard to catch a ball when you're lying down. I fumbled it. I dropped it. Twice. TheBloke (TM) laughed. I tried to explain to him that it was the angle that was making things difficult for me. The ball was coming straight towards me, whilst I was lying down. Which was apparently when I uttered the now infamous line:
"The gravity was going in the wrong direction."
I wonder how long before the English cricket team starts using that excuse.

Well he obviously threw it poorly. It's always the throw that's important, not the catch. Everyone knows that.
