It’s no surprise that Glenn Maxwell is presently counted among the finest fielders in the cricket world. But, the Australian star’s latest on-field act is still bound to take you by surprise.

Playing for Victoria against Western Australia at the Matador Cup, the 27-year-old dived backwards to pull one in that appeared well on course to fly over the ropes. The incredible effort was, subsequently, completed by his teammate Rob Quiney of left-arm spinner Jon Holland.

Maxwell’s gallant assist, however, was not enough as Victoria stumbled to a 41-run loss to Western Australia in a rain-curtailed match.

Brief scores: Western Australia 190/6 in 28 overs (Michael Klinger 87; Glenn Maxwell 2/18) beat Victoria 98/9 in 18 overs (Cameron White 24; Andrew Tye 3/10) by D/L method.
