Australia’s deputy skipper, David Warner is one of the athletic fielders in the Australian squad. On Day 2 of the first Test of the Ashes 2017-18, he also showed his fielding skills by taking a catch at the leg slip.

Australia team had a great start on Day 2 as the bowlers ran through England’s batting lineup quickly. As Jake Ball tried targetting Nathan Lyon by hitting him for three boundaries in an over, skipper Steven Smith brought his pacers back into the attack.

Mitchell Starc fired one short ball after the other at Ball. With an attacking field setting, he bowled a short delivery which was going towards Ball’s leg side, under his shoulder. the English batsman tried to flick it towards the square of the wicket on the leg side but could not time it well. He fell right into the trap as Warner was fielding in the leg slip position.

David jumped towards his right and caught the ball behind his body. Wicketkeeper Tim Paine was fascinated by the effort and so was Starc as he went running towards Warner laughing on his way. Paine was surprised by Warner’s effort and so was the home crowd who let out a huge cheer for him.

Here is the video of Warner’s fantastic catch:
