You may not be a fan of cricket, but you'll definitely appreciate this absolute peach of a catch.

A security guard working at an Australian Big Bash League game between the Brisbane Heat and the Adelaide Strikers on Wednesday night, wowed the crowd with a catch of a lifetime.

And didn't even crack a smile.

As a batter hit the ball out of the field, the security guard -- still seated in his chair -- caught the ball hurtling toward him.

The best bit of the video? He doesn't seem to care, despite the crowd's ecstatic reaction.

It's like he's been there, done that. What a legend.

The unnamed guard, dubbed "Sam Security" by commentators, didn't care to celebrate at the time, but he did manage to get his picture taken by the events social media team.

This is what a hero looks like.
