So, ” He works hard on his bowling but not so much on his batting. But defensively, he never sat in the dugout and he never hid in the locker room,” Rhodes said.

“When you bowl, you can get into some difficulties and you have to react like that. The great thing about that catch was that he took a step back and gave himself time. Usually, when you see When you throw the ball, you put a lot of force in your hands. So it was cool to see that reaction in less than a second.”
