Was just about to go to sleep and saw this. Now I'm on YouTube remembering how her could make that ball seemingly teleport, defying time, space, physics. If we didn't have slow-mo to see what really happened people would claim it was magic.

There'll never be another Warney.

I saw the number 1 on that list, the famous 'Gatting ball', live. You could tell that something odd had happened because Gatting was obviously bowled and yet didn't immediately walk off, and also that there was a loud 'ooh' from the spectators behind Warne's arm. But it wasn't until we saw the instant replay on the big screen that it was clear just how impressive that ball had been.

Plus it inspired the song 'Jiggery Pokery' by The Duckworth Lewis Method, which is another reason to remember it fondly.
