Editing Caught (section)

==Celebration==
Before 2000, the ''Laws of Cricket'' defined a catch as being completed when the player had "complete control over the further disposal of the ball". In the very strictest sense, this meant that the player did not finish catching the ball until he threw it away, though the player doesn't have to throw the ball to anyone in particular in so doing.

For this reason, even today many cricketers celebrate a catch by lobbing the ball into the air. In a Super Sixes match in the [[1999 Cricket World Cup]], [[South Africa]]n [[Herschelle Gibbs]] caught [[Australia]]n captain [[Steve Waugh]] on 56, but Waugh was given not out when Gibbs was ruled to not have control of the ball when attempting to throw the ball in celebration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/151523.html|title=Australia v South Africa|website=cricinfo.com|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101105143200/http://www.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/151523.html|archive-date=2010-11-05}}</ref> Waugh went on to score a match-winning 120 not out<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/65231.html|title=9th Super, ICC World Cup at Leeds, Jun 13 1999 - Match Summary - ESPNCricinfo|website=ESPNcricinfo|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100410060447/http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/65231.html|archive-date=2010-04-10}}</ref> to qualify his team for the semi-finals; Australia went on to win the tournament.
