Lawrence, he's given the treatment.

Prestwich says, what about me?

No.

Me, the man's a genius.

He's not the big show, he's a freak show.

What a catch from Maxwell.

Oh.

There's no doubt about the catch, but if it means we have to look at it over and over again, that's fine.

Wow, that's insane.

That's rolling through through very best catches we've ever seen in this competition in any.

Ready to make my decision.

If you could go back to the future, bring someone a cricket fan from 30 years ago and show them that catch, you'd get that that that is not possible, isn't it?

Remember Johnny Dyson, was the greatest catch of all time.

Early 80s, that was unbelievable.

Glenn Maxwell, can you please offer us your own description of the absolutely extraordinary thing you've just done.

I literally practised that thing for like 15 minutes before the game, every time I play, and that's the most perfect one that's actually come in that.

Position.

I was watching the air, I was like, I tell you what, if I can't do it now, after all the practise, I, I will be so angry at myself, but yeah, I just went straight in, uh, knew exactly what I had to do and look at it's, that's the thing, I, I, and I tell this to every person playing cricket.

If you practise your fielding and practise the difficult things, the, the easier things in the game become easy.
