Essex stars take on 'Catch Me If You Can' challenge

If you've never seen cricketers attempt to catch a myriad of random objects including inflatable bananas and beach balls, then this video of Essex stars doing exactly that will be right up your street.

Working with Unibet, their sponsor and official betting partner, all-rounders Ravi Bopara, Jesse Ryder and Ryan ten Doeschate try to catch as many items as possible timed against the clock and with their team-mates watching.

All three try different techniques to snaffle as many catches and different things as they can - some prove to be more successful than others.

Essex are in NatWest T20 Blast action next Wednesday (1st June) when they take on Glamorgan in Cardiff.

How do you think you would do if you were set the same challenge?
