5 most famous deliveries bowled by Shane Warne
Shane Warne was one of the most brilliant cricketing minds and is widely considered the best spinner of all time. When he bowled, everyone paid attention. Even after all these years, some of his magical deliveries still are fresh in the minds of fans who witnessed them live.Here’s a collection of the 5 most famous deliveries bowled by Warne:
#5 Graham Gooch, Egdbaston 1993
Warne on the dismissal: “I reckoned that I can get him around his legs. It is a bit of a plan, but not too many plans come off.”
Great deliveries are often required to send back great players, and the Australian certainly provided one against Graham Gooch at Brimigham in 1993. The batsman had already scored a couple of hundreds in the series and was looking to leave one that was pitched well outside the leg stump and deliveried from around the wicket, only to see his stumps rattled.
The Englishman even exhibited a little forward movement to arrest the threat of spin but the ball went behind his legs to strike the stumps.
