Jay Lenton is having some week. When the Big Bash League(BBL) season 11 began, he started as the assistant coach of Sydney Sixers. Now his team is playing in the BBL finals and he is the only choice wicketkeeper. 

Sixers have been struggling find 11 players to field in their last two games and Jay Lenton had no choice but to step on the field and do the wicketkeeping duties. 

Lenton has started brilliantly in the Finals against Perth Scorchers. He began the game with two dismissals and almost pulled off the third and most stunning of them all. 

In the fifth over, Colin Munro tried to sweep Steve OKeefe but the ball popped up and went toward the keeper. But it wasn't a straightforward catch and Jay Lenton had to turn backward and jump with a full stretch.

He did all of it but failed to grab the ball, which jumped from his gloves. It was a stellar effort by the assistant coach who is giving it all to win the title for his team.
