England star Will Jacks takes "absolutely obscene" catch in South Africa T20 league

England all-rounder Will Jacks left fans and commentators alike stunned after taking an outstanding catch on the boundary during the SA20 clash between the Joburg Super Kings and the Pretoria Capitals.

After Gerald Coetzee flicked a low full toss from Eathan Bosch towards the deep midwicket boundary that looked set to go for six, Jacks managed to nonchalantly pluck the ball out of the air one-handed.

The 24-year-old somehow clung onto the ball and then ensured his momentum did not carry him over the boundary. "My goodness gracious me, that has been taken," exclaimed commentator Mike Haysman. "[Super Kings coach Stephen] Fleming can't believe it, we can't believe it up here in the commentary box. That's a joke."
