Shane is pictured above on his first ever tour to England in 1993. He enjoyed an excellent series,
taking 34 wickets in 6 Tests at an average of 25.79, but will be most remembered for 'the ball of
the century' that dismissed Mike Gatting. Warne's remarkable delivery pitched outside leg stump
before turning an astonishing amount to hit the off stump and leave Gatting looking completely
bewildered at what he had just witnessed! What made this delivery all the more remarkable
was the fact it was Warne's very first ball of the series and, indeed, in Ashes cricket.
Shane Warne died in his villa in Koh Samui, Thailand on 4th March 2022
of a
suspected heart attack. His death came on the same day as fellow Australian cricket icon Rod Marsh.
