Former England spinner Graeme Swann shook off whatever rust he may have gathered to show off his fielding skills during a T10 European Cricket match between Italy and Switzerland. As an Italy player hit the ball for a six, Swann took a diving catch in the stands. He then immediately wheeled away in passionate celebration, clearly proud of his feat. While it was a rough day for the Switzerland fielders, Swann was definitely having a good day, with this catch his second in the crowd on the day.
