Australia's Starc Makes Diving Catch to Dismiss England's Crawley for Another Duck on Day Two of Ashes Test.
In a thrilling display of athleticism and skill, Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc took an incredible diving catch off his own bowling to dismiss England's Zak Crawley for another duck in the first over again on day two of the first Ashes Test in Perth. The catch, which was described by commentators as "brilliant," has sent shockwaves through the England camp and highlighted the importance of catching up quickly with the Australian bowlers.
Crawley, who is known for his ability to score quickly, found himself outfoxed once again by Starc's lightning-quick reflexes. The ball, which was bowled down leg stump, appeared to be heading for the boundary before Starc made an incredible diving catch, plunging forward at full stretch to snatch it from under Crawley's bat.
The dismissal is a significant blow to England's second innings, which had started on day two with a familiar start. The Australian bowlers have been relentless in their pursuit of wickets, and their efforts are starting to pay off. With the ball continuing to swing and seam ominously, the English batsmen will need to dig deep and find some resilience if they hope to survive the intense pressure.
The Ashes is one of the most iconic rivalries in cricket, and this match has already lived up to its reputation for drama and excitement. As the second day comes to a close, England finds themselves on the back foot once again, but they will undoubtedly be looking to mount a strong response when play resumes tomorrow.

Mitchell Starc just pulled off the most EPIC diving catch EVER!!! 
I'm literally shaking right now, that was insane! Crawley got out for another duck and it's gonna be tough for England to get back in this one. Those Aussie bowlers are on FIRE 
and they're making it impossible for the English batters to score runs. The Ashes is definitely living up to its reputation for being an intense and dramatic series. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! 
they can't understand why england keeps getting out for nothing... Zak Crawley is like 'oh no not another duck 
' and Australia's all 'boo yeah we gotcha!' 
meanwhile i'm over here trying to explain the rules of cricket to my kid who just wants to play video games all day 
! I mean, you don't see that every day, especially from your own bowling 
. Crawley's got some skills, but if he can't even get out of his own way, it's gonna be tough for him to score runs 
. Australia's on fire right now 
. Bring it on tomorrow! 
And you're right, England needs to start catching up quickly if they wanna get out of this hole. Their batsmen need some serious resilience or they'll be struggling all day long 
.
. Can we just focus on the game for once? I don't get why everyone's making such a big deal about this one catch. It was impressive, yeah, but it's not like Starc is some kind of superhero 
. And what's with all the hyperbole? "Shockwaves through the England camp"? Give me a break 
. It's just cricket, folks. Can we keep things in perspective?
Stop making it out to be so dramatic.
️. Bring on day three! 
but seriously, this match is shaping up to be an epic battle between the two teams. australia's got the momentum going their way, but don't count out england just yet 
they'll need to come up with a solid plan if they wanna turn this around and make it a series 
! That diving catch was insane - who needs gloves when you've got this much athleticism? 
It's like he's trying to make a statement or something... "Hey, I'm not even going to bother swinging my bat!"
