To me, that just looks exactly like every other 'bowled out' I've ever seen it's pitching and moving in the air way outside leg stump and comes back in with the spin to hit off stump.

That was his first ever delivery in an Ashes as well, so an iconic moment. Here's another example, I suspect it won't impress you that much though! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the immortal words, Mike Gatting looked at Warne like he had stolen his lunch. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose its the same as anything if you dont follow it. My missus cant understand the amount of football I watch and just says it's all the same. I mean shes right to an extent, all the possible goals and outcomes of games have already been done. Nothing new is going to happen in the next match. Probably also like me when I walk in and coronation street is on the tv and it just appears to be the same people with the same problems year after year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I know nothing about cricket, but I know baseball and can appreciate how much skill is required to manipulate a ball (KW.gif) like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that just looks exactly like every other 'bowled out' I've ever seen. I know (and care) exceptionally little about cricket but even I can tell that that's a special bowl. It's going wide one direction but then the bounce takes it as far as it can go on the opposite direction to clip the wicket. The crazy movement of the ball at the bounce beats the batter, rather than with pace or the specific placement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lapal_fan Posted March 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2022 Nah **** off taking Shane Warne from us. The guy was universally positive in the commentary box about young upcoming players, was training teams in the IPL and really seemed to have a thirst for life after being a bit (lol) of a party boy in his younger years. I heard an interview with him a few weeks ago and he was saying how thankful he is for how life has turned out, how he still has a good relationship with Liz Hurley (lucky word removed) and his other exes. I'm gutted I won't be seeing/hearing him again, this one is cruel. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) I am not a massive cricket fan although I'll follow England. That Aussie bowling line up with Warne and McGrath was something special. Warne though went beyond just ability he was true theatre and a real character. A larger than life figure in a sport where you could name the legends that had both ability and a character that made them famous beyond those who watch the sport on one hand. 52 is no age. RIP.

As an England/Australia rivalry he always bigged up England and the English players and he wanted a good competitive Ashes Maybe I am a bit cynical but when you mention his previous party boy lifestyle maybe it caught up in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
