@nd Test: 'He Justified His Selection,' Says Vaughan After Jacks Takes A One-handed Blinder To Dismiss Smith
Steve Smith: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has heaped praise on Will Jacks after the off-spinner produced one of the best catches in Ashes history with his absolute screamer to dismiss Australia captain Steve Smith on Day 2 of the pink-ball Ashes Test here at the Gabba on Friday.
Smith played an unconvincing pull shot off Brydan Carse to fine backward square, where Jacks has a lot of ground to make up and not much time to do it in, but he dived to his right to claim a stunning one-handed blinder, and the Aussie skipper headed back to the hut for 61.
"This is as good a catch as I've ever seen. Oh my word! It doesn't get any better than that; that's an incredible piece of movement from Jacks. We're seeing Australia do what England normally do with the bat in hand, error after error."
