Former England captain Michael Vaughan has hailed the incredible catch by Surrey all-rounder Will Jacks, describing it as 'as good as I've ever seen'.
The catch occurred during a thrilling Ashes Test at Brisbane's Gabba ground. The moment saw Australia's Steve Smith fly a ball from behind his back to leg gully for what could have been an inexplicable drop. However, thanks to the agility and acrobatic prowess of Jacks, England was able to turn a potentially disastrous situation into a possible fightback.
According to Vaughan, it is no exaggeration that Jacks' effort surpasses even some of the greatest catches in Ashes history. The comparison has been made with Ben Stokes diving to his right at gully to catch Adam Voges in 2015, as well as Andrew Strauss making an unforgettable snaffle on Adam Gilchrist in 2005.
However, it's also worth noting that such comparisons can be subjective and that every catch is unique in its own right. Nevertheless, Jacks' incredible athleticism has undoubtedly secured his place in cricket history.
Vaughan immediately put the remarkable catch at number one among his top Ashes catches. The former England captain described the moment as 'hyperbole given the situation', but stated that it was undeniable that Jacks had done something truly special.
While Australia remain well in control of the match, England's fans were left ecstatic by this unexpected reprieve and can now look forward to an intriguing conclusion to the series.

Will Jacks is literally a superhero on the field! The way he flipped around to snag that ball was insane 
. I mean, even Michael Vaughan is raving about it, and he's not someone who's just saying it to be nice 
. It's like, yeah, Ben Stokes' catch in 2015 was cool and all, but this one takes the cake 
. I'm loving how England's fans are still buzzing about it, though - it's a huge morale boost for them going into the rest of the series 
. Can't wait to see what happens next! 
! I mean, who needs a superhero when you've got guys like Jacks saving the day? 
catching balls from space... err I mean Australia's Steve Smith. Like, what are the chances?! 
. Anyways, England's fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the rest of the series without totally panicking 
. Bring on the Ashes action! 
. It reminded me of a scene from Spider-Man 2 where Spidey swings into action 
, and I felt like screaming at the screen when it happened 
. It's no wonder Mike Vaughan is raving about it - that catch has got to be one of the best he's ever seen! 
And can we talk about how great it was to see England giving Australia a scare? The Aussies might still be in control, but I'm all about an exciting Ashes series 
. Bring it on! 
So Will Jacks just pulled off a catch that's being hailed as one of the best ever - I mean, who needs TV replays when you've got eyes like that? 
The guy literally flew across the ground to snag that ball and it was a total game-changer. And Vaughan saying it's 'as good as he's ever seen' isn't exactly hyperbole, tbh 
. But let's not get ahead of ourselves - cricket's all about the drama and unpredictability, so we'll see how this one plays out. Still, if anyone knows a thing or two about great catches, it's Vaughan 
, gotta keep watching this series unfold 
!
... I mean, we've seen some crazy catches in Ashes history, like that one from Ben Stokes (you can't just compare every catch 
), but Jacks' effort was still super impressive. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of it all and overstate how good something is 
I mean, Steve Smith almost got dropped off his feet and Jacks just swooped in like a superhero 
.
Still, I guess you have to give Jacks credit – that was a pretty insane thing for him to do 
️! The thing is, even though Vaughan's saying it's as good as he's ever seen, I'm not sure I entirely agree 
?
.
! Will Jacks' catch was INSANE!!! i mean, it's like he has superpowers or something 
. Vaughan is right, this catch is going down in history as one of the greatest catches ever! 
anyway!
