Essex player Michael Pepper displayed an amazing example of presence of mind and athletic fielding against Lancashire in the quarterfinal. On the 5th ball of the 9th over of the run chase, Philip Salt played a slog sweep on the bowling of Matthew Critchley. Salt timed it beautifully but couldn’t cross Pepper.
Pepper timed his jump brilliantly in the air. He brought the hands at the right time. But soon he started losing the balance and at one time it looked like his leg would touch boundary ropes. But Pepper threw the ball inside the boundary line at the right time with both his legs in the air. At the end, Ben Allison caught the ball who was standing in the right position.
