Australian star bowler Amanda-Jade Wellington created a magical moment during the first day-night Ashes Test against England, that forced the pundits and fans to compare the 20-year-old with the legendary Shane Warne.
In the 31st over of the England innings, Wellington castled Tammy Beaumont and picked the first wicket of the day. The ball landed outside the leg-stump but spun square and cleaned up Beaumont’s off-stump, forcing everybody to compare it with Warne’s ball of the century to Mike Gatting in 1993.
Australian Women’s Cricket Team took to Twitter and posted the video, the post read: “GOT HER! That is a stunning delivery from Wellington! Wow. A moment of magic at North Sydney Oval #WomensAshes”.

The movement of the ball was eerily similar to Warne’s delivery, with which he castled Gatting in the Manchester Test. This legendary delivery from the leg-spinner was given the title of ‘Ball of the Century’ by the experts.
