One cricket fan pulled out all the stops to catch a boundary and net a tidy cash prize.

Andrew McCulloch won $5,000 NZ (€3,150) after a magnificent sliding catch during a recent game in New Zealand.

The one handed grab came from batsman Bracewell's shot during a Twenty20 game between the Otage Volts and Wellington Firebirds.

McCulloch, who by sheer coincidence is actually the boyfriend of Bracewell's sister, has said that he will use his winnings to pay off debts.
