On Day 2 of the second Test between West Indies and Bangladesh at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica, Alick Athanaze left cricket fans in awe with an extraordinary catch to dismiss Bangladesh’s Taskin Ahmed.

A remarkable display of athleticism by Alick Athanaze

The moment came during the 70th over of Bangladesh’s first innings when the West Indies right-arm medium-fast bowler Jayden Seales bowled a short-length delivery outside the off-stump. Taskin attempted a pull shot, only to produce a top-edge. Wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva?? leaped into action, stretching full length to his right and managing to palm the ball mid-air. Athanaze, stationed nearby, reacted instantly, diving to his right and completing a juggling catch with precision. The effort was a testament to incredible teamwork, quick reflexes, and athleticism. Taskin was dismissed for 8 runs, which included a solitary boundary.

Seales, who claimed the wicket, continued to impress throughout the innings.

His incredible economy rate of 0.30 was complemented by an astonishing 10 maiden overs. Such a disciplined and impactful display underscores why Seales is emerging as a star in West Indies’ Test cricket.

Sabina Park Kingston, Pitch Report:

Sabina Park offers a balanced playing surface that caters to both ba?tters and bowlers. Early in the innings, the new ball tends to move and seam, providing an advantage to seamers. As the game progresses and the ball ages, spinners come into the equation, exploiting the conditions effectively. Over time, batting bec??omes easier, allowing players to accumulate runs more comfortably, making the pitch particularly favourable for teams opting to chase.
