Horatius, Ideally you want the front foot to bend a little bit, as it releases stress on the knee and ankle. In a situation where the front is completely straightened, the stress on the knee and ankle joints is about 4 times higher than when the front foot is bent.

I gree with that. I have seen most cases on review of world quick bowlers, they all tend to bend slighly. Thank you for that in sight

Catching Excellence: High Catches and Slip Catching

Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
