Lewis Gregory showcases great athleticism to complete an 'Elite' catch against Stars

Thursday's Big Bash League (BBL) clash between Melbourne Stars and Brisbane Heat witnessed a couple of amazing catches at Metricon Stium which were thing less than extraordinary. While Marcus Stoinis completed an excellent catch in his follow-through during first innings, it was Lewis Gregory's brilliant piece of athleticism in second that arguably was better one. 

'Ar elite catch!!'

This happened in sixth over of Stars' run chase that was bowled by Mark Steketee. Nicholas Pooran who on strike at that point in time h alrey scored a five-ball 16 at an outstanding strike rate of 320 and it was very important for Heat to get rid of him at earliest and y did so courtesy of an unbelievable effort on field from Lewis Gregory.

On fourth delivery, bowler h bowled a short length delivery outside off stump as Pooran attempted to take him to cleaners with an aggressive pull shot. However, he mistimed it completely as a result of which it ended up taking a top-edge of his bat and went a long way up in air. Gregory, who was stationed at deep square leg did t take his eyes off ball as it appeared that it would be a regulation catch for fielder. 

But, it was t case as ball drifted away at very last minute. neless, Englishman was very alert and dived towards his right to pull off a screamer. video of Lewis Gregory's stunning catch was posted by Big Bash League on ir official Twitter handle. Take a look.

Brisbane Heat in driver's seat

Coming back to contest, Stars skipper Glenn Maxwell won toss and elected to bowl first in a rain-curtailed contest that was reduced to  10-overs-a side. Brisbane Heat have mand to score 115/3 in ir innings riding on captain Lynn's important kck of a 23-ball 48 at a strike rate of 208.7 that included three boundaries and four maximums. 

It's a herculean task for visitors as y need 63 runs from last three overs with asking rate having jumped up to 21 runs per over.
