The West Indian delivered the wonder ball at Windsor Park on Day 2 of the first Test between West Indies and Australia.

22 years ago, on June 4th 1993, Australian spin legend Shane Warne had dismissed Mike Gatting at Old Trafford by a unique delivery which came to be known as the 'Ball of the Century'.

FLASHBACK
22 year earlier, the blonde leggie from Australia burst onto the cricket scene with the 'Ball of the Century' that left Mike Gatting speechless and got the rest of the cricket world talking.
Warne's 'magical' leg break that drifted and turned vicious pitched well outside the leg stump and shot past a clueless Gatting's outside edge to dislodge the top of the off stump.
In Boshoo's case, the magical moment took place in the 44th over of Australia's first innings. Haddin had been batting on 8 when Bishoo bowled the last delivery of his over.
Haddin had no idea and was left completely baffled as the flighted delivery pitched outside leg stump and spun past his outside edge to hit the top of off stump even as Haddin was looking to defend.
Bishoo almost replicated Warne's 'ball of the century', but not quite. After all, Warne's delivery turned way more as it was pitched way outside the leg stump. Bishoo ended Day 2 with figures of 6/80 in the first Test at Dominica.
