Legendary Australian leg-spinner, Shane Warne was one of the greatest leg-spinners the cricketing fraternity has ever graced the game and during his career, bowled many deliveries which completely bamboozled batters and left the fans who were watching the game in awe. Lancashire leg-spinner Matt Parkinson bowled a lovely delivery that reminded fans of the ball of the century bowled by Shane Warne in the 1992 Ashes.
Lancashire leg-spinner Matt Parkinson stunned Warwickshire wicket-keeper batter Michael Burgess with a magical delivery to dismiss him for a duck in the ongoing County Championship division one match. Matt Parkinson got the ball to drift away from the right-handed batter which is not an easy thing to do.

The leg-spinner seems to have mastered the art of bowling in that fashion which is why he was able to get rid off the batter. The ball became an instant hit on the internet as it reminded fans of the late great Shane Warne who was known for deceiving batters with majestic balls just like these throughout his career.
Shane Warne passed away earlier this year which left the cricketing world in shock. But, whenever a leg-spinner bowls like this, they are often compared with the ball of the century from Shane Warne.
