YES! Over the shoulder, diving one handed. Has to be one of the best out field catches I've seen.

I was there, sat just above where he took the catch, it was insane. Everyone just jumped out of their seats, like woowwww did that just happen
It's the best catch I've ever seen live that's for sure, he was so casual afterwards as well

Incredible take. It always amazes me how the pros make it look so easy, most people would have ended up nowhere near the ball, not to mention taking it over the shoulder single handed!

As catches go, this is probably my favourite just for the sheer ingenuity!

No offence, but some years ago, a fat, retired rugby league player took a catch every bit as good as Ballance's here in Oz.
