Widely regarded as one of the greatest cricketers of all time, Warne captivated the world with his extraordinary skill, charisma and passion for the game.

Witness the Ball of the Century

It has been more than 30 years since Warne's iconic 'Gatting Ball' left the opposition and crowd in complete disbelief.

Not only was it his first ball against England on the day, it was his first delivery - ever - in an Ashes Test.

It has been called the ‘ball of the century’ and of all the leg breaks I sent down over the years, this turned out to be one that changed my life. After the moment - Old Trafford, June 4, 1993 - things would never be the same for me again.
