After Shane Warn THE BALL OF THE CENTURY By Yasir Shah

  • 8 years ago
The Ball of the Century, also referred to as the Gatting Ball[1] or simply That Ball,[2] is the name given to a cricket delivery bowled by Australian spin bowler Shane Warne to English batsman Mike Gatting on Day Two during the first Test of the 1993 Ashes series (4 June 1993), which took place at Old Trafford, Manchester.[3] With his first ball against England, in his first Ashes Test, Warne produced a spectacular delivery that bowled Gatting out. It became recognized as being of considerable significance in not just the context of the match or series, but in cricket in general in that it signalled the revival of leg spin bowling.
