David Warner enthralled everyone by completing a sensational catch in a Big Bash League fixture between Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers played at the Sydney Showground Stadium. The Sydney Thunder skipper pulled off a great diving catch to dismiss Ashton Agar in the 14th over of the innings.

But he could not time the shot properly and Warner, positioned in the mid-off region, backtracked and produced a dive to take a catch. Warner timed his jump perfectly and completed a remarkable catch, sending Agar back to the dressing room.
