Remember all the way back in November when the Ashes squad was announced and everyone lost their minds when Tim Paine's name was called out?

I don't either.

There was speculation as to who Trevor Hohns and the selection panel were going to pick out of then-incumbent Matthew Wade, former 'keeper Peter Nevill and rising South Australian star Alex Carey.

Surprisingly, they went with Paine, and despite the Tasmanian not having played Test cricket since 2010, Australia hasn't looked back since.

During the current Test against South Africa in Durban, Paine again showed his immense skill while standing up to the stumps to all-rounder Mitch Marsh.

Marsh isn't slow, and the day four Durban pitch is very two paced.

The Aussies were doing all in their power to remove Proteas' opener Aiden Markram who was on 143 at the time, so Paine chucked on a helmet and came up to the stumps.

Markram got a big edge, and Paine took an absurd catch.

It was so brilliant that it earned praise from arguably Australia's finest gloveman, and best wicket-keeper batsman.





You can see the catch in the video below.

Gilly wasn't the only one to congratulate the 33-year-old.

That was a really good catch by Tim Paine he’s been out on the field for most of the day and stood up to a guy bowling at 135km, really good — Philasande Sixaba (@psixaba) March 4, 2018
