New Delhi. There are often such scenes on the cricket field, which remain in the mind for years. One such scene was seen in the match between West Indies and South Africa which left everyone mesmerized. A video of it has also gone viral on social media, in which two players are simultaneously running for a catch. Let’s dive together. Fall together in a single action. This makes it difficult at first glance to know which player has taken the catch and who is shadowing him.
The catch we are talking about was from South Africa’s Gerald Coetzee. Gerald Coetzee played Shamar Joseph’s low full top ball into the air on the off side. Obed McCoy from cover and Brandon King from midoff ran together to catch the ball. Both were about the same distance from the ball. After running backwards for about 12-13 steps, both dived forward to catch the ball.
Obed Mackay reached out to catch the ball, but King was faster than him. By the time McKay reached the ball, King had caught it. As soon as he took the catch, he slipped forward. McKenna had the same speed and dived in almost the same style. Because of this he almost slipped away. Seeing the two running, diving and gliding brought joy to every cricket lover’s face. Except, Gerald Coetzee and his fans. Coetzee returned from the field without scoring.
