Watch: Sam Billings’ “Crazy Catch” in UK vs New Zealand The 3rd Trial Is the Perfect Potion for Your Monday Blues

In the recent past, England have had little chance of participating in Test cricket, but a change in leadership has seen their fortunes flourish. With Brendon McCullum appointed head coach and Ben Stokes given the Test captaincy, things seem to be going in the direction of England. Their new brand of cricket has received widespread praise and the results have gone their way as well. The lady’s luck also appeared to be on the British side, as witnessed on Day 4 of the third and final Test at Headingley, Leeds.

In the second round of New Zealand, Neil Wagner was fired in an unusual fashion when the keeper took over Sam Billingswho only played on Sunday as a Covid substitute for Ben Foakesgrasp an edge Jack Leach fit between his legs.

The ball went to a thick edge and bounced off Billings’ body and fortunately for him was tucked between his knees.
