Mitchell Starc's age-defying catch to dismiss Zak Crawley in Ashes owns internet; ‘such catches at 35 is greatness’

Mitchell Starc defied age to pick a stunning one-hander to dismiss England's Zak Crawley on Day 2 of the first Ashes Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth. After his maiden seven-wicket haul on the first day, the 35-year-old Starc made headlines on Saturday to pull off an unbelievable grab to stun the England right-hander for the second time in the match.
The incident happened on the fifth ball of England's second innings. The extra bounce on the pitch tricked Crawley, who tried to play it down straight. Starc who was moving away on his followthrough, sticks his left hand out, dives and grabs the ball low to complete the catch.
Interestingly, Crawley was dismissed by Starc on the sixth ball of the match in the first innings. In both the innings, the English opener failed to open his account, thus grabbing a pair.
