[Watch] Nick Kelly and Troy Johnson combine to take catch of the season contender in Super Smash
Nick Kelly and Troy Johnson combined to take one of the most unbelievable catches to dismiss Will Young in Super Smash on Saturday, January 13.
The catch came during the sixth over of Central District's run chase. Wellington pacer Michael Snedden bowled a fuller-length ball and the right-handed batter launched that towards the long-on region. Kelly took the catch near the boundary and threw the ball back while sliding over the ropes.
Luckily, Troy Johnson followed him and completed the brilliant catch, leaving everyone stunned. While boundary catches have become common these days, the fielder had lost total control of his body in this instance. He only had a fraction of a second to throw the ball back on time.
