Is this cricket's greatest catch ever?
THE Sydney Sixers' Jordan Silk has taken one of the great catches of cricket in a thrilling Big Bash defeat of Brisbane Heat last night.
And while the game itself was crowd-pleaser, it is the magic catch that will people talk about for many a year to come.
Cricket immortal Sir Viv Richards even described it as best catch he's ever seen.
Sydney was defending a tiny 140 total when the big catch helped turn the game.
When Craig Kieswetter bashed out what should have been a comfortable boundary, Silk delivered a spectacular run and dive to his left to take the memorable catch.
"I think it's a fluke. It was nice that it stuck," Silk said.
Luck or not, the catch is a hit, with more than 21,000 You tube views of the amazing moment by 5am today.
Brisbane fell five short of victory, ending the night at 7-136.
