Mumbai: Nathan Lyon and Glenn Maxwell took the relay fielding to new height by pulling off a spectacular effort. The incident took place when Australia faced Zimbabwe in a tri-series involving South Africa.
Zimbabwe were chasing a humongous 350-plus target. In the 9th over of their inning, Sikandar Raza pushed a Mitchell Starc delivery towards leg-side. At one point of time, it looked certain that the ball would cross the boundary rope.
But in came Nathan Lyon’s dive as he attempted to keep the ball in play. Lyon tossed up the ball and crossed the fence. And just when the ball was about to go beyond the rope, Glenn Maxwell jumped in out of nowhere and put in one-handed effort and threw the ball back into play.
Mitchell Marsh then completed the formality by picking up the ball and throwing it back to the wicketkeeper.
