Akram to Dravid in 1999(?). Two inswingers that Dravid barely kept out (well, he should've been out lbw off the first) then the third ball shaped in before seaming away to take the off bail. The wicket taking delivery itself must be an all time great, the set up makes it even better.

This is a spell I would think of for sure. A lesser spotted Tim Ambrose behind the stumps.

I've been looking for video of this for years. Remember it like yesterday. "That's a little bit of inexperience from Jacques Rudolph... and a lot of experience from Martin Bicknell."

There was an ODI in Sharjah, Murali bowled Craig McMillan through the gate with a booming off break. Then came in a bowling AR whose name escapes my memory. Murali gave him a off break that spun half of what it was earlier. The batter gave the smirk after defending it. Then next one spun miles, batsman playing for the initial turn, cleaned up through the gate.

If this happened McMillan wasn't the first batsman. Muralitharan dismissed him four times in ODIs, one was bowled but was at Premadasa and was the only wicket he took in the innings. It wasn't at Sharjah either, unless Statsguru's filtering is malfunctioning.

Why would he smirk
Coronis

A bowling allrounder coming in and smirking at the best spinner ever in ODIs after just seeing him take a wicket and fend off a ball followed by a wicket does read as an apocryphal story to enhance the spinner’s rep.

Whatever it takes!!!
Its his subconscious, dude. The batsman could do whatever he wanted him to do.
