A member of the crowd became the main attraction at Wednesday night's Big Bash League clash between the Renegades and the Scorchers when he took an extraordinary catch off a Chris Gayle six.

The unidentified man looked as if he would be more at home in Docklands Stadium during the winter, with a catch resembling the sort of flying grabs more commonly seen from Nic Naitanui or Jeremy Howe.

Flying across from rows deep, the man left a trail of destruction as he perched above unsuspecting spectators in front, before safely clinging on to the incredible catch.

Some fans seemed a little shocked and displeased at the pack-clearing grab, but fortunately nobody was injured.

The fan took time to celebrate as the match continued, the Scorchers completing an historic 10-wicket win on a night of dramatic highlights.
