Glenn Phillips catch video: Is this a human or an eagle, Glenn Phillips caught an amazing catch, you won't believe your eyes.
New Zealand cricketer Glenn Phillips is famous for his agility and excellent fielding. Once again, by taking a brilliant catch, he has proved that no fielder can stand in front of him in the present times. In fact, in the first Test against England, he showed eagle-like vision and agility like a cheetah and took a brilliant catch of Ollie Pope. Seeing this catch, the fans are not able to believe their eyes. Pope had settled at the crease by scoring 77 runs in 98 balls, but Phillips' one-handed catch ended his innings abruptly.
Broke the 151-run partnership
New Zealand batted first and scored 348 runs. In response, England lost 4 wickets at a score of 71 runs. Then Ollie Pope shared a 151-run partnership with Harry Brook and not only pulled the team out of trouble but also put it in a strong position. He had scored 77 runs in 96 balls and was moving towards a century when Phillips ended his innings. Pope tried to score runs by playing a cut shot over the gully on Tim Southee's ball but he could not break the wall like Phillips standing there. Phillips flew like an eagle and caught the fast-moving ball with one hand. Let us tell you that before this, Phillips had played an important innings of 58 runs in 87 balls while batting.
