Fact #195217
When:
Short story:
When Australian spin bowler Shane Warne bowls his first ball against England, in his first Ashes Test, at Old Trafford in Manchester, he takes the wicket of English batsman Mike Gatting. The ball is so spectacular that it will go down in cricketing history as The Ball of the Century, immortalised in Jiggery Pokery by The Duckworth Lewis Method. Warne will go on to become a cricket legend, with at least three songs dedicated to his life and achievements - The Shane Warne Song by Paul Kelly (2008), The Shane Warne Song by Kevin Bloody Wilson (2019) and Shane Warne Is An Aussie by The Barmy Army.
