Tuesday marked the 20th anniversary of one of the most celebrated deliveries of all time when Warne, making his Ashes debut at Manchester’s Old Trafford ground, saw his first ball pitch outside leg-stump and then spin viciously across bemused England batsman Gatting to clip the top of the off-bail.

Warne would go on to win six successive Ashes series, finishing with 708 Test wickets after helping to secure a 5-0 series whitewash at Sydney in January 2007.
