Hyperbole is rarely far-off from fashionable sport, however possibly when followers say that Brad Currie has taken the “best catch in history” they might even have a degree.
In a T20 Blast fixture in opposition to Hampshire Hawks at The Hove on Friday Sussex Sharks’ Currie claimed a one-handed catch that made jaws drop. The second occurred within the penultimate over of Hampshire’s chase of 184. With 23 runs required from 11 balls, Hampshire’s Benny Howell pulled a supply from Tymal Mills to midwicket. Thye ball appeared destined to fly over the ropes. But Currie got here charging from deep sq. to dive and pluck the ball mid-air.
The catch left everybody, together with cricketers, surprised.

“Has to be one of the greatest catches ever. The distance he covers before diving ..phewwwww,” tweeted India wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik.
England captain Ben Stokes, in the meantime, expressed his admiration of the trouble with a single worded tweet: “filth”.
Sussex, who scored 183 for six within the first innings because of Oli Carter’s 64, ended up beating Hampshire (177 for 9) by six runs. It was Currie who was the highest wicket taker for the Sussex aspect, ending with a tally of 3-27.
