Amazing he made that catch and then throws back without hitting the ground first.

Why does he throw it back? Cricket makes no sense to me.

It's more of an instinct than anything. A lot of times the batsman hits the ball directly back to the bowler then they wander out of the 'crease' (the line drawn near the stumps) and the bowler throws the ball back at the stumps to try to get the batsman run out.
In this case the ball was hit so hard and fast for a second the bowler probably didn't realize he had caught it and his instinctive reaction was to throw the ball back at the stumps.
Here is an example of a bowler throwing the ball back at the batsman's stumps but gets it wrong: Sometimes it doesn't go exactly right

I think the bowler thought it skipped off the ground first maybe and then that's why he threw at the batsman/wicket.
If you catch on the fly, the batsman is dismissed. That's what happened here, but the bowler wasn't sure that it was on the fly. The batsman sorta dug it out of the dirt.
So if you catch it on the bounce, beaning the batsman between the two wickets (sticks at both ends of the pitch) dismisses him as well. The bowler threw at the batsman under this premise.

ESPN3 shows a lot of cricket, ODI matches and T20 matches, and lots of IPL (Indian Premier League) highlights.
