New Zealand's Glenn Phillips will arguably go down as one of the greatest fielders of all time, and on March 9 (Saturday), he once again proved why he must be rated so highly. There have been numerous instances in the past where Phillips's jaw-dropping or high-flying act on the field has left fans stunned and in awe. On Saturday, Phillips produced yet another magical effort on the field that captivated the onlookers and made their jaw drop.
Marnus Labuschagne shocked
In a breathtaking display of athleticism and skill, the 27-year-old Phillips dazzled the cricketing world by executing a remarkable one-handed catch at the gully position, leaving Australia's Marnus Labuschagne in shock. This stunning moment occurred during the 61st over when New Zealand's Tim Southee delivered a ball wide of the off-stump, tempting Labuschagne into a shot away from his body.
As the ball soared towards the right of the fielder positioned at wide gully, it seemed destined to evade capture. However, Phillips, known for his exceptional athletic abilities, launched into an incredible dive to his right. Demonstrating impeccable timing and coordination, Phillips extended his arm fully, snagging the ball out of the air with just one hand while in mid-flight.
