Shaun Marshs dive to catch a bat and pad chance from Temba Bavuma was a significant moment for Australia for a few reasons, quite apart from being a terrific piece of fielding.Short leg to a spinner is arguably the hardest position in the game in terms of courage and skill, leaving the fielder open to all kinds of punishment and danger when slow bowlers pitch short or the batsman opens his shoulders to slog sweep. As Chris Rogers has recounted in his new book Bucking the Trend.Ive always hated the position. I fielded there a lot as a younger player, particularly for Beau Casson. He mixed great deliveries with loose ones, meaning the short leg could be peppered. During one match at Adelaide Oval for Western Australia, I was struck on the full on my ankle and the ball then ricocheted all the way to midwicket, who proceeded to take the catch. All the players ran to the fielder except for Beau, who ran straight to me, where I lay writhing in pain on the ground.After numerous blows, I started to dislike playing and would hardly speak when positioned close in. Its a terrible spot to field and those who criticise these fielders would be better served to keep their mouth shut until theyve experienced what it is like in there. The best ones are those who dont fear it and I wasnt one of them - Rob Quiney is possibly the bravest Ive seen.Australia had lost their first choice for short leg with the dropping of Joe Burns, meaning Marsh went in there for the spinners while Usman Khawaja went under the lid for the pacers. The intervention to catch Bavuma ended a pesky partnership for South Africa.At the same time it provided a nice bit of nostalgia for Shauns father Geoff Marsh, watching from the stands. A decade or three ago he fielded there for Australia in Tests, once claiming a particularly fine catch from the bat and pad of one Ian Botham at the SCG. This take, though, was better.

Gwynne and Lanning commentated on the first PDC World Championship, which started in December 1993, and Lanning would remain part of the team until his retirement in 2011.Lanning, who was in the commentary box for the first televised nine-dart finish in 1984, was also a leading commentator on speedway as well as writing for national newspapers.Dave was a remarkable man, utterly professional and I doubt I have sat alongside anyone quite so professional, Gwynne told Sky Sports News HQ.He always perfected his preparation for every single match he did and I have no reason to believe it was any different when he did speedway. His voice has been synonymous with both sports since the 1960s.He worked a lot of major darts tournaments before Sky Sports on his own. When Sky took on darts at the end of 1993, and invited Dave and myself to do the first ever world championship I felt extremely privileged.I knew Dave, I liked Dave very much and we worked together on that first world championship at Purfleet, the Circus Tavern. Sid would join us later in the year and we would end up working as a team.dddddddddddd. Dave Lanning commentated on the first televised nine-darter in 1984 I think he got added pleasure from seeing, following the demise of the sport, darts grow immensely through the late 1970s and 80s before the split in the early 90s, and then the renaissance of darts with Sky Sports and Dave, Sid and myself playing a part in its redevelopment.Along with the players that broke away, and others who joined, we all together helped to make the sport what it is today. Dave was a giant in that pursuit.He had a great sense of humour as well and could definitely find the funny side of things. We had some fabulous times inside and out of the commentary box. Dave took it very seriously but we all had great fun and I am very sad to learn today of his passing. Also See: Dave Lanning dies aged 78 Van Gerwen edges Whitlock ' ' '
