Ashleigh Gardner took an absolute screamer near the boundary ropes to dismiss the 25-year-old England Women's National Cricket Team player Sophie Ecclestone at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Friday, January 17.
Gardner brought out her best in the third ODI against the English team and showcased a batting masterclass in the first innings. The top-order batters of the Aussie team failed to get going, and they were struggling at 59/4.
Mooney was back in the hut after hitting a fifty, but Gardner extended her stay in the middle and was involved in a 103-run partnership with Tahlia McGrath.
Gardner wasn't satisfied with her contribution with the bat and wanted to contribute more in the second innings. She wasn't able to pick any wickets with the ball but bagged a crazy catch near the boundary line to stun the cricket world.
However, Gardner denied her the boundary as she leaped, grabbed the ball with one hand, and after losing balance, she, threw the ball in the air as she went past the boundary. Then, Gardner jumped back and completed an absolutely sensational catch diving forward.

I clearly misjudged that - Ashleigh Gardner
Speaking after the match, the Aussie allrounder said that she had been looking to register an international ton for a very long time.
"To do it for my country, to share the partnership with Moons and TMac, I am sure she will take confidence from that innings. Emotional but one tick off. "
"[On her catch] I clearly misjudged that because I took that one-handed. But then managed to throw it back in, you don't practice it in heaps, luckily instincts took over."
