With so many leagues and tournaments occurring around the globe, it is quite easy to forget brilliant moments from specific matches However, Brad Currie one-handed, spectacular catch for Sussex will undoubtedly survive the test of time.
In the penultimate over of Friday’s T20 Blast match between Hampshire Hawks and Sussex at The Hove, a spectacular catch was made. Hampshire was in a precarious position, needing 23 runs off 11 deliveries. Benny Howell attempted to launch a long ball over the square leg barrier.
The connection was sweet and the ball appeared destined for six until Brad Currie appeared from nowhere and made a spectacular capture. Currie, 24, ran to his left and extended his left hand parallel to the ground to grasp the stun gun.
The commentators were stunned when one of them asked if anyone had ever witnessed anything similar. Fans were equally astounded by the effort.
