Harry Brook. What a boy

As Kipling might say "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs ... you will score exceedingly good runs".

Watching the BBL Adelaide v Perth.  I assume this is the 20 20 cricket?  Been fun to watch despite a load of stuff I haven't got a clue what is going on.

Yes that's what it is. Adelaide just got best 9th wicket partnership in the Big Bash. 🙁

I'm gonna have to go to a 20 20 game this year. Really enjoying the BBL

Good fun isn't it. Did you see Maxwell's catch?

I did and got all confused :lol: 

So he's not out because the ball didn't touch the floor?  It went over the line but his body and the ball we're not touch the floor.

When he touched the ball outside of the rope, he was off the ground. He threw it back into play while off the ground, and ran inside the rope to catch it. 

 

Ridiculous to even be able to think that quickly, never mind execute it perfectly.

That's why he's called the Big Show. 🙂 

 

Unlike Warnie, who was just called Warnie because he had a huge cock?
Cricket, it's so confusing!

That’s the rule. It’s not a boundary until the ball either lands over the boundary or touches it. If the fielder is in contact with the ball and touches the boundary or steps over the boundary whilst fielding the ball or catching it, then it’s a boundary. So in this case he stopped the ball landing over the boundary, even though it’s apparently crossed the line. Applies whether it’s a four or a six. You can flick the ball back to another player too where the same rules apply. Obviously if you do it when the ball has already bounced inside the boundary you’re only preventing a four. If he’d flicked the ball back but had failed to catch it before it bounced inside the boundary, he’d still have prevented a six being scored. This sort of thing was virtually unheard of until fairly recently but the standard of fielding is incredible these days.

Only thing to add to Alex's post is the player must establish himself back within the field of play before catching the ball (two feet down or have touched the infield ground).
