[Watch] Cameron Green takes a juggling catch to dismiss Joshua Da Silva in Australia vs West Indies 2nd Test
Australian all-rounder Cameron Green took a juggling catch to dismiss West Indies batter Joshua Da Silva during the second Test at the Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday, January 27. The six-foot-tall lad dived to his right and completed the catch on his second attempt.
Mitchell Starc bowled a full and wide delivery and Da Silva went for a loose drive. It took the edge and flew over Green, who reacted sharply. The fielder jumped to get his hands in the ball, which popped out the first time but grabbed it on the rebound.
