When I first moved to Sydney (1985/86) I opened the batting with our skipper Steve Janz, Western Suburbs v Manly at Pratten Park.
Manly had David Lawrence who went on to open the bowling for England a few years later in their team.
Lawrence was bowling from the bowling club end and a few overs he had Janzy dropped at first slip from the 4th ball of the over. The next ball Janzy edged straight to first slip, and he was dropped again.
The 6th ball of the over was uneventful as was the next over from the other end.
The first ball of Lawrence’s next over Janzy edged it straight to first slip again and for the 3rd time in 4 balls the catch went down. First slip was hitting the ground with his hand whilst everyone else turned and looked away while smiling politely.
