Over the years we have witnessed umpteenth number of breathtaking catches being taken by bowlers on their follow through and recently one such stunner was taken by Australia fast-bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile during a Sheffield Shield game.

The Western Australia pacer took the catch during the game against Tasmania.  Former Australia captain George Bailey thumped a straight drive back in Coulter-Nile’s direction, giving the right-arm pacer absolutely no chance to held on to the catch. However, Coulter-Nile stunned one and all with a surprising tumbling catch to reduce the opposition to 14 for 4.

Here is a clip of that stunning catch:

Prior to taking the catch, Coulter-Nile had also starred with the bat, scoring 42 and 52 in the two innings as Western Australia thrashed Tasmania by 301 runs. With the selectors keeping an eye on the domestic games for the Ashes selections, Coulter-Nile did himself a world of good by taking 3 for 18 as Tasmania were all out for a paltry 63 while chasing 365.
