Fans hail ‘Superman’ Buttler as he takes ‘insane’ catch in 2nd Ashes Test

Jos Butler received the ball with one hand and England attacked early on the opening day of the Adelaide Pink Ball Test on Thursday. After Australia chose to hit the ball in the second test of the series, Stuart Broad scored the first blood and the England goalkeeper made a brilliant dive to his right.

James Anderson and Stuart Broad-they were both brought back in the second test-made a controlled start, and Broad had earlier received Harris comments on England. However, on this occasion, Butler ensured that there was no need for a review, because he made a huge leap behind the wicket, allowing the England team to make a breakthrough.

Broad hit the ball on the side of the leg, Harris tried to ease the boundary, aiming to pull the ball through the goalkeeper and the leg groove, but failed to grasp the timing of the shot. A rough edge took place, and Butler made no mistake behind the wicket. Earlier, Australia’s test captain Pat Cummins was excluded from the second game on the first morning because he was in close contact with a positive Covid case at a restaurant in Adelaide. Steve Smith leads in the absence of Cummins.

This is Smith’s first game as the Australian Test captain since the infamous game in Cape Town in 2018. He was suspended for ball tampering charges along with David Warner and Cameron Bancroft.

Michael Neser replaced Cummins in Australia XI, which is still the only change for the host. At the same time, England played with five Pacers.
