IT has taken the freak athleticism of a promising AFL hopeful to provide the highlight in tonight's dull ODI between Australia and Sri Lanka at the Adelaide Oval.
Peter Spurling, an AIS-AFL Academy member, took a one-handed catch in the crowd off a towering Brad Haddin six, sparking a mega cheer and high-fives aplenty in the stands.
The catch was made even more remarkable given Spurling was holding an iced coffee in one hand and what looked to be two burgers in the other.
He tucked the drink under his arm while on the walkway under the second tier, threw his other mit high in the air and stuck the catch.
AFL talent expert Kevin Sheehan confirmed on Twitter it was Spurling who gloved it.
"Watching cricket and saw great one hander crowd catch by AIS AFL Academy young star Peter Spurling !! It was signature AFL !," he tweeted.
"Spurling is one of our best talls working with Brad Ottens in our L 1s which travel to NZ next Friday; a name to watch !"
Spurling, from Glenelg in Adelaide, is in the 2012-13 AIS-AFL Academy intake.
An AFL club talent expert confirmed tonight the 198cm 16-year-old was already looming large on the draft radar.
