In the 1968 Games, in Mexico City, the American high jumper Dick Fosbury won the gold medal by flipping himself over the bar head first and backward a technique now known as the Fosbury Flop.
Left-arm seamer Aamer, who has just turned 17, persuaded Bopara to spear a catch to backward point where Shoaib Malik took a good catch at head height, a couple of yards to his left.
