New Delhi. Many times such scenes are seen on the cricket field, which remain in the mind for years. One such scene was seen in the match between West Indies and South Africa, which fascinated everyone. Its video has also gone viral on social media, in which two players run together for a catch. They dive together. They fall together with the same action. Due to which it becomes difficult to know at first glance which player has taken the catch and who remained with him like a shadow.
The catch we are talking about was that of South Africa’s Gerald Coetzee. Gerald Coetzee played Shamar Joseph’s low full top ball in the air on the off side. Obed McCoy from cover and Brandon King from mid-off ran together to catch the ball. Both were almost at an equal distance from the ball. After running about 12-13 steps backwards, both dived forward to catch the ball.
Obed Mackay extended his hand to catch the ball, but King was faster than him. By the time Mackay reached the ball, King had already caught it. As soon as he caught the ball, he slid forward. Mackay was also of the same speed and he dived in almost the same manner. Due to this, he slid almost in the same way. Seeing both of them running, diving and sliding in the same way, every cricket lover’s face was filled with joy. Except, Gerald Coetzee and his fans. Coetzee returned from the field without opening his account.
