One local in Cairns showed how desperate he was for a crowd catch during Dewald Brevis’ rampage against Australia, after being poleaxed by the fence.<\/p>\n

During the third T20I<\/a>, Brevis picked up where he left off from his century in the last match<\/a>, hitting Aaron Hardie for three sixes in a row during the 10th over.<\/p>\n
