WATCH: Amy Jones' Lightning Quick Stumping Gets Alyssa Healy Out
Amy Jones and Alyssa Healy
Wicketkeeping is a tough job. It takes a lot of quick thinking, reflexes, and fitness to do a decent wicketkeeping job. However, some players make it look as if it's nothing. England's Amy Jones is one of them.
In the first ODI between Australia and England, Jones displayed one of the finest glovework one can see in cricket overall.
Standing close to the wickets against a pacer needs some incredible reflexes. Jones came up to the stumps during the Kate Cross' over. Cross bowled a perfect delivery that was angled in but seamed away from Alyssa Healy and beat her bat.
Suprised Healy got off balance due to the sudden movement and her foot got in the air just for a few moments. However, Jones was so quick to collect the ball - she judged the movement perfectly - and stumped Healy right at the moment her back leg went up.

Amy Jones immediately knew she had got Healy and the third umpire declared the decision in her favor as well.
