Brad Currie’s catch in the Vitality Blast has been declared as one of the greatest catches in cricketing history.

Currie, who played for Sussex against Hampshire, caught the ball on the boundary line in spectacular fashion. The magnificent catch turned the game in Sussex’s favor and has been a topic of conversation for cricket enthusiasts across the world.
Fans have taken to Twitter to express their reverence for the catch, with one calling it the greatest catch ever due to the distance Currie covered before diving. Spectators at the event were left amazed, with some noting that it was the best catch they had seen live. Even commentators were left scratching their heads, with Mark Butcher calling it filth and expressing his disbelief at the catch.
The English team, who are currently playing in the Ashes, were not left out of the conversation as England captain Ben Stokes tweeted after watching the catch, calling it filth. The catch not only brought joy to fans but also impacted the match’s result, showing that cricket continues to be a sport where anything is possible, and anything can happen.
