Glenn Maxwell’s athleticism and awareness were simply outstanding!
Glenn Maxwell of the Melbourne Stars pulls off a stunning boundary catch in the Big Bash League match against Brisbane Heat at the Gabba.
The incredible moment happened on the first ball of the 17th over. Daniel Lawrence bowled a full delivery at the stumps, and Will Prestwidge hit it hard and flat straight down the ground.
The shot looked like a certain boundary, but Glenn Maxwell at long-on had other ideas.
Maxwell ran to his right, jumped into the air, and grabbed the ball with an unbelievable one-handed catch.
While still in the air, he threw the ball back into play before landing outside the boundary, then stepped back onto the field and completed the catch.
After a quick review, the TV umpire confirmed it was a clean dismissal.
The stunning effort has already been called one of the best catches in BBL history. Glenn Maxwell’s athleticism and awareness were simply outstanding!
The Melbourne Stars made the most of favorable bowling conditions after electing to field, with Mark Steketee striking early to dismiss Tom Banton and Colin Munro inside the powerplay.
