The catch that substitute Hemang Badani took to get rid of Matthew Hayden at Eden Gardens in March 2001, the fabulous slip catch Shane Warne took to remove skipper Rahul Dravid at Nagpur in October 2004, the back foot punch that Virender Sehwag gave Brett Lee at Perth four years ago -- these are the sort of sparks that have propelled players to up the ante in encounters for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the last decade.
