It appeared that the ball would easily cross the boundary ropes, but Agar stopped it with a remarkable effort to save a certain six.
In the first One-Day International against England, Australia's Ashton Agar performed an amazing attempt in the deep to deny a well-set Dawid Malan from hitting a six off Pat Cummins' bowling.
The incident occurred during 45th over of the innings. Malan was on strike for 131 runs and was attempting to clear the deep mid-wicket boundary when he spotted the delivery pitching full around the middle and off stump.
It appeared that the ball would easily cross the boundary ropes, but Agar stopped it with a remarkable effort to save a certain six. With his feet still in the air, the all-rounder leaped off the ground near the boundary ropes and whacked the ball inside the field.

That's crazy!
