It is common for cricket fans to engage in the bat and ball sport even while they are enjoying the game from the stands. At times, we see some outstanding catches of the balls crossing over the boundary lines. One such moment was caught on camera where a fan could be seen totally involved to catch a ball landing on the ground.
It was during the ICC Women's T20 World Cup match between Australia versus Srilanka in Perth. The moment was converted into a GIF video and uploaded by ICC on the official Twitter handle. The catch has all the elements - Style, Effort, Execution and Degree of Difficulty- as defined by ICC.
The fan is seen wearing a short trouser, T-Shirt and a cap in the video. His determination to spot the ball looks promising and the way he manipulated his body down the surface shows his dedication level. For a moment, the fan had forgotten his 'spectator' purpose and became like a professional cricketer himself.
Overwhelmed by complete admiration, ICC credited the fan with the score of 10/10 for his Style, Effort, Execution and handling the degree of difficulty involved in taking the catch.
Style: 🔟/🔟
Effort: 🔟/🔟
Execution: 🔟/🔟
