Ball of the Century
The Ball of the Century, also sometimes known as the Gatting Ball or simply That Ball, was a cricket delivery bowled by Australian bowler Shane Warne to English batsman Mike Gatting on 4 June, 1993, during the first Test match of the 1993 Ashes cricket series, at Old Trafford in Manchester. The leg spin Warne imparted to the ball caused it to swerve in towards Gatting in its flight through the air, and then to deviate sharply away from him on bouncing.
