Shane Warne reminded the world that is is the tenth anniversary since he bowled ‘that ball’ to Andrew Strauss. The ball is etched deep in the memories of cricket fans all over the world. It is regarded as one of the most iconic deliveries in history of the game.

The ball was characterised by Warne’s uncanny turn and accuracy. The ball was pitched well outside off (6th stump), Strauss tried to bock the ball away with his leg since he assumed it would impact well outside the off stump. But it spun so acutely that it went past him to crash into his leg stump.

 

Warne said that it was one of his favourite deliveries ever bowled.
