A screamer of a catch from Adelaide Strikers' Kane Richardson helped his side to a convincing 38-run win over Hobart Hurricanes at Blundstone Arena.
T20 - Blundstone Arena
5 January 2013 - Day 1, Session 2
Hurricanes 1st Innings
| X. Doherty | 15 | 11 | 2 | 0 | 136.36 |
| B. Laughlin | 8 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 66.67 |
| S. Tait | 4 | 0 | 23 | 1 | 5.75 |
Set 163 to win, the Hurricanes fell apart once key men Ricky Ponting (26 from 25) and Tim Paine (33 from 31) departed, finishing at 8-124 on Saturday night.
Richardson brought back memories of Glenn McGrath at Adelaide Oval when he dived in the outfield to dismiss last season's leading runscorer Travis Birt (1 from 6).
The lanky paceman looked to have misjudged the chance as he moved towards deep extra cover but threw out his right hand only for the ball to stick.
He raised his arms to the crowd on the Bellerive hill as his teammates celebrated with the Hurricanes reduced to 4-63.

Richardson's stunning effort gave young legspinner Cameron Boyce (3-17) his third wicket after he'd already removed big guns Ponting and Paine.
When Richardson (2-26) then bowled Owais Shah (9 from 9), the home side were in all sorts of trouble at 5-85.
The win keeps the Strikers in the hunt for the finals, while Hobart blew a chance to go second on the ladder and all but wrap up a semi-final.
The Hurricanes were 1-10 when Aiden Blizzard was out for a third ball duck to Shaun Tait (1-23) - who clocked a tournament high 154.4km/h - and 2-56 when Ponting was caught at point.
It was game on when in-form Paine was caught in deep at 3-63, then came Richardson's moment and the momentum was all with the visitors.
Earlier, Strikers opener Michael Klinger had anchored his side's 4-162 with an unbeaten 71 from 61 balls with eight fours.
Klinger put on a partnership of 59 with Callum Ferguson (32 from 23) and 70 with Nathan Reardon (29 from 23).
Reminded of McGrath's catch, Richardson was happy to stake his claim.
"I think he got two hands on that so I might have him covered there," he said.
"I think I made it look a bit better than it was.
"It got caught in the wind a bit, I just stuck one hand out and it fell in.
"I probably carried on a bit too much after it."
Hurricanes captain George Bailey said his side's equation for the finals remained the same.
"It was win one of your last two and I guest that hasn't changed, and if we don't we probably don't deserve to make the finals," he said.
