None are close to the Harris ball, but a tough fight for no. 2

in hindsight given what it heralded, bumrah's ball to smith down here that just tickled his leg bail is pretty watershed

Bumrah has so many contenders. His ball to Pope, Rizwan etc

I'm sure most of us follow That's so Village on Twitter but if you don't - have a look at it - some very funny clips on there.

Nah, Asif's ridiculous bowled to Laxman is a clear no.2 Cricinfo got that right.

Context is the important factor. For Warne, it's very easy for the 20th, there's just no comparison.
Johnson to Faf 2014 - Best ball I've ever personally seen. After how Faf single handedly denied Australia in 2012 it was the most delicious and perfect reply and made him look like a precious moron in the firing line of Hades himself. Can't find a video but anyone who saw knows it.
Harris's ball a close second. But more of insult to injury in the inevitable. Endlessly replayable though.

What do you think about Bumrah’s balls to Rizwan and Shadab in the WC, and the one to Pope some days back?

Yeah it was because of the crack, doesn’t need to land directly on it

This doesn't make any sense to me. How can the crack affect the trajectory of a ball which has not even touched it?

Just sticking this one in there coz there's a lovely piece of Benaud commentary in the analysis of the delivery......"well outside off stump there....but not there"!!

I honestly don't think it was because of the crack. It lands on the seam, it stays presented upright and swings away to clip the top of off. It's just a nuts delivery.
