I’m on my way out, when Mr Osman stops me in my tracks. He has a question for me. Mr O always has questions. The other day, someone asked him, and now he’s Chinese whispering it to me. Yeah, he does talk softly. So here it is – “What’s a regulation catch?” I was ready for many questions, a general enquiry on construction material, but not this.
So it takes me a second to tell him, “It’s a simple catch!”
He’s not nearly as satisfied as he’d like to be – so he says, “then, what are other catches?”
I’m in the loop with him, “they’re not regulation…” and I play on, “a regulation catch you gotta take…you’re expected to take…take it in your sleep…even a kid should take it”
I wanted to add, but didn’t, “even you can take it!” and "even I can take it!"
He folded his hands, nodding, almost marvelling at the mysterious ways of cricket.
For Mr O’s sake, tell me, what is a regulation catch?
What’s a regulation catch?

A straightforward catch that a fielder fails to catch.:)
Haha! Yeah, that's always the context, isn't it - that was regulation, he should have taken it
no...a regulation catch is a catch which best suits the definiton of "the simplest catch". something like what players give each other during practice sessions--a similar catch in a match situation is a regulation catch.other catches dont have a name.
Catching a bottle of Jack Daniels at any cost when its thrown at me will be the best suited definition for my Regulation catch :D

Captained by the irresistible Virat Kohli, the Royal Challengers Bangalore Ipl 2019 Auction Players will be aiming to break their title drought in the IPL. Having retired from international cricket, the onus will be on AB de Villiers to bat at his absolute best. They have taken huge punts on big-hitters like Shimron Hetmyer and Shivam Dube. Tim Southee and Umesh Yadav bring experience and quality to the pace attack.
