‘Jimmy Neesham what do you have for food’: Pommie Mbangwa reacts after witnessing two stunning catches in SA20
New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham took a couple of stunning catches in the ongoing SA20 League during the game between Pretoria Capitals and Durban Super Giants at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Sunday.
Mpumelelo Mbangawa, who was in the commentary box, was astounded after the second catch as he said on AIR, “Oh! you have done it again and again, I can’t believe this. Jimmy Neesham what do you have for food”.
Neesham plucked the ball out of thin air while he was fielding at point. South African all-rounder Wian Mulder who cut the ball when he was on nine of Joshua Little’s delivery was staggered the effort.

The first one was caught and bowled to dismiss Super Giants skipper Quinton De Cock. Neesham took the catch near his foot after De Cock drove one straight back to him.
