Nick Kelly and Troy Johnson teamed up to pull one off the brilliant catches in the ongoing men's Super Smash fixture between Wellington and Central Districts at the Basin Reserve. It was one of the most athletic pieces of fielding as the clip of the same has gone viral on social media.
The dismissal occurred in the 6th over of Central Districts' run-chase as Michael Snedden lofted a full delivery straight down the ground. Troy Johnson, who was running back, caught the ball, but recognized that he was going to slide beyond the boundary. He threw the ball back to Nick Kelly, who took the catch comfortably to send Wellington into jubilation.
Central Districts pull off an easy run-chase despite Wellington's stunning fielding attempt:
