We Already Have The Catch Of The Summer And It's Not Even Summer Yet

And it's not even summer yet.
Nine

Take a bow, Mitchells.

That would be Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Marsh, who combined for a ripping catch in the first over of Test cricket for the Australian summer.

After losing the toss to South Africa, and probably finding themselves pretty happy to bowl on a typically aggressive Perth pitch, the Aussies capitalised early on the WACA's pace and bounce.

The best way to describe this catch -- off the thick edge of Stephen Cook -- is to let the catch describe itself.

There you go. One over in, and an instant classic.

Who said Mitchell Marsh wasn't good for anything?
