The Ball of the Century, also referred to as the Gatting Ball[1] or simply That Ball,[2] is a cricket delivery bowled by Australian spin bowler Shane Warne to English batter Mike Gatting on 4 June 1993, the second day of the first Test of the 1993 Ashes series, at Old Trafford in Manchester.[3] With his first ball against England, in his first Ashes Test,[4] Warne produced a spectacular delivery that bowled Gatting out. It became recognised as being of significance not just in the context of the match, but more generally in signalling a revival of leg spin bowling.
