Wow

Odell Beckham JR would be proud of  this effort.

England are currently attempting to chase down Australia’s substantial lead at the cricket World Cup opening pool game in Melbourne this morning. But it’s not looking good for them.

England, captained by Dubliner Eoin Morgan, are 184-6, from 33 overs, after Australia’s scored 342 – 9 earlier this morning and it looks like the hosts have the game in the bag. With Steve Smith’s brilliant catch the highlight of the day’s play so far.

Jos Buttler smashed what looked to be a sweet effort, only for the Australian player to make flying, two-handed catch. The ball looked to travelling but Smith somehow managed to pluck it out of the air.

Great effort.
