You have to see this absolutely incredible cricket play to believe it

As the thrilling high of a phenomenal World Series wears off, baseball fans are sobering up to the reality that Major League baseball is gone until next year. Do you already miss it? Don't worry, we do, too.
Of course there are great ways to scratch that offseason baseball itch. You can check out the baseball happening in the prospect-laden winter leagues or lose yourself in Hot Stove rumors. But one way you absolutely must get your fix is by checking out this absurdly amazing cricket play:

That's South African cricketer Temba Bavuma making a ludicrous barehanded catch and throw all in one acrobatic, diving motion to run out David Warner of Australia.
For baseball fans, it might be a call back to a similarly incredible play turned by Tigers shortstop José Iglesias back in 2013:

Who pulled it off better, Bavuma or Iglesias? Can you even choose? It's the offseason, go ahead and watch those highlights as many times as you want.
