Kiwis' catching a rare highlight for hosts

Anderson's acrobatics and brilliant Boult give Black Caps fans something to smile about

New Zealand's bowlers were hit to all parts of the ground by Australia's batsman in the first Test at Wellington, but at least their catching was on song.

Trent Boult (2-101) and Corey Anderson (2-79) were among the bowlers to receive plenty of stick from Australia's batsman, yet the duo will be happy with the catching off their own bowling.

First of all it was the athletic Boult that pulled down this ripper to dismiss Mitch Marsh on the second day.

Not to be outdone, Anderson reeled in his own pearler on the third morning as Nathan Lyon was dismissed for 3. 

The pair of catches were among the best caught and bowled efforts we have ever seen, although it remains to be seen whether they were better than those in this compilation.
