Steve Smith fly like 'superman' to take incredible one-handed catch; watch video
Steve Smith has been performing exceptionally well in the ongoing Ashes series in England. Smith has amassed more than 715 runs from just 6 innings. On Saturday, the former Australian skipper took an incredible one-handed catch to dismiss Chris Woakes.
“He's just a freak. We were actually chatting about it out there at one point about batsmen like him seem to always be in the game,” said the Australian skipper Tim Paine.
“Cricketers like him, I think Stokes is the same, they're just in the contest and in the game all the time whether they are at slip or at point or with the ball or with the bat,” he said.
Great catches from the Aussies tbf
