WATCH: Glenn Maxwell takes extraordinary catch during AUS vs SA T20I – was it legal as per new ICC regulations?
Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is no stranger to moments on magic on the cricket field and on Sunday, in the first T20I against South Africa in Darwin, he produced another spectacular fielding effort. In the last over of the match, with Australia close to a rather comfortable win, Ryan Rickelton swung through the line to a Ben Dwarshius delivery. At long on, Maxwell was waiting underneath the downward curve of the ball, threw himself beyond the boundary line and flipped the ball over his shoulders into the field of play, landed outside the ropes but quickly jumped back in, to complete a stunner of a catch. Rickelton was dismissed for 71 off 55 balls when SA needed 21 off 5 balls. Australia, who scored 178 earlier riding on a whirlwind 52-ball 83 by Tim David, went on to win 17 runs. The TV umpire took his time to decide if it was a legal catch and there were some questions regarding the validity of it because of the new rules that have come into play. GLENN MAXWELL DOES IT AGAIN 🤩 #AUSvSA — (@cricketcomau) August 10, 2025 Late in June this year, the ICC had announced quite a few changes to the playing conditions, one of which was regarding boundary catches. 'Changes to the playing conditions now require a fielder who makes airborne contact with the ball beyond the boundary to then land and remain inside the boundary,' the governing body had stated. 'A fielder, after making their first contact with the ball subsequently leaves the field of play, can only make contact with the ball once more while airborne beyond the boundary. Having done so, they must land and remain wholly within the boundary. This applies even if another player completes the fielding.' Based on this, Maxwell's catch would be legitimate as he makes contact with the ball, while airborne, only once and his next contact with the ground is within in the field of play. Outrageous catch from Michael Neser 😱 Allow Glenn Maxwell to explain why it's a legit catch #BBL12 — 7Cricket (@7Cricket) January 1, 2023 Incidentally, as reported by ESPNCricinfo, the new changes to the boundary catch rule were to prevent 'bunny hopping' catches like the one in Big Bash League that Michael Neser pulled off. As seen in the video below, Neser makes a second contact with the ball beyond the boundary even though he is airborne while doing it – hopping like a bunny, if you would – to take a legitimate catch as per the rules back then. Glenn Maxwell, coincidentally enough, is on commentary for this particular catch, explaining the legality of it, where he added that Neser could have done that hop 300 times and it would have been still a valid catch… but not anymore. According to the ESPNCricinfo report, 'the ICC cricket committee asked the MCC, the custodians of the laws, to review the law in question and the two bodies have worked together on the new version. An MCC note, which was sent to member boards by the ICC, said that while the existing rule had 'led to some spectacular' fielding, it had also created room for 'some unusual-looking catches that, to the majority of the cricketing public, feel unfair'.' The Neser catch, evidently, was a turning point. This change was to be implemented in international cricket right away and then to be included in the MCC Laws of Cricket next year.

AUS Vs SA, 1st T20I: Tim David Stars As Australia Beat South Africa By 17 Runs
Last Updated: Tim David's explosive 83 off 52 balls led Australia to a 17-run win over South Africa in their T20 opener in Darwin. Hazlewood and Dwarshuis took three wickets each. Tim David smashed eight sixes in a blistering 83 off 52 balls, leading Australia to a 17-run victory over South Africa in their opening Twenty20 international match in Darwin on Sunday. After being put in to bat, the hosts were all out for 178 on the final delivery of their 20 overs in the first international cricket game in Australia's tropical north in 17 years. How Australia Beat South Africa In The First T20I? Cameron Green (35 off 13) was the only other batsman to make a significant contribution, with left-arm quick Kwena Maphaka taking 4-20 as South Africa bowled out Australia for the first time in a T20 match. David's phenomenal innings proved decisive, with the Proteas restricted to 161-9 in reply, despite a battling 71 from Ryan Rickelton, who was dismissed by a spectacular Glenn Maxwell catch on the boundary. Josh Hazlewood took 3-27 and Ben Dwarshuis 3-26. 'Great way to start the series," skipper Mitchell Marsh said after Australia's ninth T20 victory in a row. 'Certainly we want guys like David to come out and bat the way he did, he was the difference." Backed by a recent 5-0 series sweep against the West Indies, Australia signalled their intent early with Marsh hitting a six off the first ball. However, he lost opening partner Travis Head (two) and Josh Inglis (golden duck) in the space of three deliveries and then skied Kagiso Rabada on 13, with Maphaka taking a tricky catch before Green and David let loose. They added a quickfire 40 for the fourth wicket before Green was undone by a slower ball from Lungi Ngidi. Australia were in trouble at 75-6 when Mitch Owen was out for two and dangerman Maxwell went for one. But David dug in and, with Dwarshuis (17), added 59 for the seventh wicket. David was dropped by Tristan Stubbs on 56, although Stubbs made amends by holding the catch that finally removed the big Australian after a power-packed knock. South Africa's chase started poorly with skipper Aiden Markram dismissed by Hazlewood in the first over, and they had lost three wickets for 48 by the sixth over. Rickelton and Stubbs (37) knuckled down in a threatening 72-run stand, but Hazlewood struck again with two wickets in an over to shatter their momentum. South Africa's hopes were all but over when Adam Zampa matched Hazlewood's feat in the next over. 'It got close, but we were pretty far from our best tonight," Markram said. The second of the three-game series is in Darwin on Tuesday. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

BCCI breaks silence on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's ODI future
India's Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli (PTI Photo/Arun Sharma) The Board of Control for Cricket in India ( BCCI ) is in no rush to make decisions about the ODI futures of cricket stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma , despite ongoing speculation. The matter has gained attention as India's next ODI series against Australia approaches in October, with questions arising about whether the duo, who have collectively scored 83 ODI hundreds and over 25,000 runs, can continue playing until the 2027 ODI World Cup. India's scheduled ODI series against Bangladesh in August has been canceled, making the Australia series from October 19-25 their next one-day international commitment. Greenstone Lobo predicts Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma's ODI future Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The age factor has become a significant talking point, as Kohli and Rohit would be 39 and 40 years old respectively by the 2027 ODI World Cup. "Obviously, if they (Rohit and Kohli) have something in mind, they would tell the BCCI brass like they did before the England Test tour. But from an Indian team's perspective, the next big assignment is the T20 World Cup in February and preparations before that. The immediate focus will be on sending the best team for the Asia Cup T20 tournament, hoping all players are fit and available," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity. The BCCI is known for its measured approach to sensitive decisions, particularly considering the massive fan following of both players. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why is everyone rushing to get their hands on this new air cooler? News of the Discovery Undo The last tournament featuring both players was the Champions Trophy in Dubai, where Kohli scored a century against Pakistan in a group stage match, and Rohit contributed with a crucial half-century in the final. Neither player has participated in competitive cricket since the Indian Premier League concluded. Kohli, now residing in London, has shown signs of returning to training, posting an Instagram story of an indoor nets session. Poll Do you believe Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should continue playing ODIs until the 2027 World Cup? Yes, they should play. No, it's time to retire. Only if they are performing well. Rohit, who was also in the UK post-IPL, has returned to Mumbai and is expected to begin training soon. While some media outlets have reported about BCCI potentially offering the duo a farewell game in Sydney on October 25, the BCCI source indicated no such discussions have taken place yet. "Even if they play Vijay Hazare, before that there would already be six ODIs that will be played. In between the Australia ODIs and the South Africa ODIs, there is an India A series against South Africa A where three List A games (50 overs) will be held at Rajkot on November 13, 16 and 19 respectively." "Now, will the duo want to play those three A games, or possibly two, before the South Africa series is the question. Even more important is whether Ajit Agarkar and his colleagues would want that," the source added. The national One-Day Championship, Vijay Hazare Trophy, is scheduled to begin on December 24, 2025, preceded by a three-match ODI series against South Africa starting November 30. "Overlapping the Vijay Hazare Trophy (December 24, 2025 - January 18, 2025) will be the three ODIs between India and New Zealand (January 11, 14, 18). So even if they play the Vijay Hazare Trophy, it can't be for more than two to three games," the source concluded. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
