Small, while fielding as the 12th man in January 2012 during the New Zealand domestic HRV Twenty20 competition (currently known as the Super Smash) as a 19-year-old, made a spectacular catch assist on the boundary line. The catch was completed by teammate Michael Mason. The Laws of Cricket indicate that a catch can be initiated outside of the boundary line so long as the player is airborne whenever they are touching the ball; this must remain so until the ball is back inside the boundary (either completed by the same player or, as was the case with Small, completed by a teammate). The West Australian thought it was a candidate for the "greatest cricket catch ever", while a commentator during the match called it "possibly the most brilliant piece of fielding I've ever seen".^[3] The video has received millions of views across various online uploads.^[4]
