Australia v England: In the ongoing 2nd Ashes test at Brisbane, England have pulled back well enough after a below-average performance in the first innings. Day 4 morning was very much about the Keeping skills of Jos Buttler which has attracted the attention of ex-cricketers on Twitter.

What a roller coaster of a test match this has been for @josbuttler , taken absolute blinders and dropped considerably easier ones.

Keeping is as much about legs as it is about hands.

listen to @gilly381 speak about keeping was insightful post the Steve Smith catch #Ashes

Australia came out to bat after deciding against enforcing the follow on and lost David Warner at the end of day 3. On day 4, Jos Buttler showed some wicketkeeping masterclass. In the 20th over, Stuart Broad bowled a good length delivery from round the wicket. 

Marcus Harris, who was batting on 23 from 65 balls, poked towards the ball with a checked-drive to mid-on. The ball caught a thick edge off Harris' bat and Jos Buttler dived towards his left to complete a mesmerizing catch. What makes this catch more special is that Buttler dropped an easy catch earlier in the day.
