The Leverock catch against India in 2007 that amazed the cricket world! Who told fat man can't jump?

At the 2007 World Cup, where Bermuda were one of six qualifiers, Leverock was their most experienced cricketer. They lost all three of their group matches, against Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh, but had plenty of memories to take away from the tournament.

Leverock's big moment was, of course, that catch. He leapt, stretching fully to his right and grabbing the edge off Robin Uthappa's bat from the first ball of the second over in the game against India, bowled by Malachi Jones.

"Before the delivery was bowled, I stood there and told the wicketkeeper, Dean Minors, next to me that we will get a wicket this over. We didn't talk after that but the first ball Malachi bowled, Robin Uthappa went on the drive and the ball flew away from me. I just dived to my right and got the ball in my hand. I got up and ran off to celebrate, and the rest of the team joined me," said Leverock.
