Australian all-rounder Cameron Green grabbed a brilliant catch to dismiss West Indies batsman Roston Chase in the second ODI in Sydney on Sunday.
The impressive catch occurred in the 41st over of the West Indies innings. Sean Abbott delivered a good-length ball, and Chase played it towards mid-wicket.
Green made a full-stretch dive to his left to pluck it with his fingertips. He has a habit of plucking such catches at gully and he’s done something similar at mid-wicket.
