Glenn Maxwell seeks 'catching tips' from woman cricketer Haidee Birkett
'Catches win matches' is an old saying in the world of cricket. After missing a sitter in the third ODI against India at the MCG, Australian player, Glenn Maxwell took to Twitter to seek catching tips from woman cricketer, Haidee Birkett. Maxi is one of the safest fielders in world cricket, but he had a rare off day in the third ODI.
India won their first-ever bilateral ODI series on Australian soil after winning the decider by seven wickets on Friday. MS Dhoni was the architect of India's win with his sublime knock of 87*. Australia had a chance to dismiss the veteran for zero but Maxwell dropped a simple catch at point. It was also the first ball which Dhoni had faced in the match.
Any tips appreciated Haidee 🙏 #butterfingers #catcheswinmatches https://t.co/yILfZ66mgY

Haidee Birkett took a stunning catch on Saturday to help Brisbane Heat reach the final of Women's Big Bash League. For the first time in the history of the tournament, Heat have booked a summit clash date. The Sydney Thunder team required five off the final ball and Haidee sprinted down the square-leg boundary to take a sensational catch.
Australian coach Justin Langer felt that dropping Dhoni cost the side the victory. "You drop MS Dhoni a couple of times and you don't win. You don't give great players chances. We did that tonight. We get down the 49th over and MS is there again. It was a great lesson for our squad," said the coach of the Australian team.
