Australian all-rounder Cameron Green took a juggling catch to dismiss West Indies batter Joshua Da Silva during the second Test at the Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday, January 27. The six-foot-tall lad dived to his right and completed the catch on his second attempt.

Mitchell Starc bowled a full and wide delivery and Da Silva went for a loose drive. It took the edge and flew over Green, who reacted sharply. The fielder jumped to get his hands in the ball, which popped out the first time but grabbed it on the rebound.

With the wicket, Australia reduced the visitors to 157-6 in their second innings. Da Silva, who top-scored for WI in the first innings with 79 off 157, departed for just seven runs off eight deliveries.
