There were fireworks during the Big Bash League clash at Adelaide Oval on Wednesday night, but not all of them were on the field.

The Adelaide Strikers and the Brisbane Heat put on a show in the middle, with the Strikers falling just short of Brisbane's 5/206.

The bats fired, with plenty of boundaries, but it was a man on the other side of the rope who provided the real highlight of the night.

Sitting in a plastic chair, side on, up against the fence, a security guard showed off what could well be the safest pair of hands in Adelaide, nonchalantly catching a big six without so much as moving a muscle in his lower half.
