We might be a bit late to the party with this one, but it’s too good to ignore. Take a bow, Daniel Christian, take a bow.
Australia may have lost to Pakistan in their Twenty20 Cricket clash in Dubai on Friday night, but the game itself will hardly be remembered in 20 years time. Daniel Christian’s amazing catch will, however.
Running backwards while chasing a lofty hit from Pakistan’s Nasir Jamshed, Christian produced a stunning piece of athleticism to turn his body in the air while on the run and then hold onto the ball whilst crashing off the turf with a fair degree of force.
The crowd produced a rapturous reaction and even Jamshed himself could afford a smile afterwards; after all, if you are going to be put out, there aren’t many more spectacular ways than that.
We’re far from cricket experts, but those in the know were hailing it as one of the greatest catches of all time afterwards and it’s hard to argue with that logic.
Have a look in the video above and see if you agree.
