KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Pat Cummins took a stunning catch
- Cummins dismisses Keacy Carthy
- Australia are leading the series 1-0
Is there anything Pat Cummins cannot do? While the world knows him as one of the greatest captains and bowlers of all time, he is known to be a safe hand with the bat, who has played important knocks for Australia on various occasions to seal victory in big matches. While fielding is an aspect of the game, you will excuse him for being a pacer, but the legendary cricketer put his name among the world's best.
On the second day of play in the second Test of the Frank Worrell Trophy, Cummins took a catch that will be remembered for a long time, of his own bowling. The Australian captain dismissed Keacy Carthy with a caught-behind dismissal.
However, it was no ordinary catch as Cummins produced a super-human effort to complete the dismissal. After a bat-pad from the Windies batter, the ball flew into the air and was far away from the bowler's end and flew towards the side pitches near the batter.
However, the Australian captain sensed a chance at seeing the ball in the air, and as soon as he completed his run-up chased the ball. Cummins put up a full-stretch dive and completed the catch with a one-handed take with his weaker left-handed took.
Watch here
While catches of your bowling are generally considered tough due to the bowler not being in position after delivering a ball. In Cummins' case, it was even tougher as he caught the ball in a position far away from where his run-up ended while running at full speed despite the exertion of bowling a delivery.
Talking about the match, Australia won the toss and chose to bat first but were bowled out for just 286 despite half-centuries from Beau Webster and Alex Carey.
Australia are leading the series 1-0 after winning the series opener by 159 runs.
