America's hilarious reaction to insane BBL catch

'The greatest outfield catch of all time' has made it all the way to America, and the yanks have reacted brilliantly.

One of the most remarkable catches in cricket history was the highlight of an emphatic 26-run BBL win by the Adelaide Strikers over the Melbourne Renegades on Monday night.

The scorecard will show Dwayne Bravo was caught by Jake Weatherald off the bowling of Rashid Khan but that doesn't come close to capturing the moment.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE: Aussie leggie makes history with miracle spell

BETTER THAN McGRATH? Cricket world goes nuts over insane Strikers catch

Bravo's lofted off-drive was heading for the boundary rope when it was brilliantly caught by a sprinting Ben Laughlin.

The Strikers' seamer then had the presence of mind to back flick the ball 30m back into play as he fell over the boundary rope.

To the amazement of the 23,089 fans at Etihad Stadium, the ball hung in the air long enough for Weatherald to run around and take a superb diving catch.

The amazing effort has since gone global, with a number of media outlets in the States getting wind of it.

“Great cricket catches are all about precariousness," wrote Patrick Redford for Deadspin.

"There’s a great deal of that built into the process of handling a live cricket ball in flight, with nothing but your bare hands, while also trying to stay inbounds, and the best cricket catches are the ones in which that tension is closest to the surface.

“When two people have to go all-out in rapid succession, as Ben Laughlin and Jake Weatherald of the Adelaide Strikers did today, it’s an order of magnitude more impressive.

“Please do a three-person catch next.”

For The Win's Charles Curtis described it as 'just absurd', while Golf Digest's The Loop even got hold of it.

“We here at The Loop aren’t exactly what you’d call cricket experts, but we know a damn good highlight when we see one,” Coleman Bentley wrote.

“Enter Australia’s Big Bash League — the coolest sports league name on earth fwiw (for what it’s worth) — and Adelaide Strikers Ben Laughlin and Jake Weatherald, who turned in an absolutely doozy (cracker?) this weekend.”

But Bentley was even more taken by Weatherald and Laughlin's post-match description of the play.

"Quite possibly the greatest, most proudly Aussie Aussie Aussie post-match interview in the long, colorful history of post-match interviews," he called it.

"Technically this is the same language we speak here in the States, but in practice, it's a mad lib.

"Coursing with adrenaline from his incredible catch, Weatherald gets things started with a staccato machine-gun-fire response, rattling off a starter-kit of glorious regional gems.

"'Mayo', 'panic stations', 'Jakey', 'at cover', 'that's not knife, this is a knife.'"

Gobsmacked former Australian seamer Damien Fleming declared on the Channel Ten commentary "I think we have seen the greatest outfield catch ever taken".

John Dyson and Glenn McGrath might beg to differ but it's hard to disagree.
