The Catch

For an extended period either side of the turn of the 21st century, Victoria and Queensland fought out the most intense rivalry in Australian domestic cricket. One of several boiling points between the sides was reached on the final day of the 2001 Sheffield Shield decider at the Gabba. With hosts Queensland stumbling in their fourth-innings run chase, their captain Stuart Law came to the middle, hoping to avoid a king pair. What happened next was one of the most dramatic moments in Shield history, and for Law, the climax of a long-held grudge with a fierce rival.

Featuring interviews with the key protagonists, this episode of Stories After Stumps is an incredible behind-the-scenes look at one of domestic cricket's great controversies.
