Shane Warne bowling to Daren Powell - 2005
After a classy shot by the Windies No. 3 batsmen Ramnaresh Sarwan*, night watchman Daren Powell comes on strike.
Powell is still batting from having made 2 runs as nightwatchmen the day before. He now has the challenge of facing an bright and alert Shane Warne in the first few overs of the day's play.
Shane bowls everything at him; leg-breaks, over-spinners, wrong'uns and sliders.
He bowls with loop, he bowls with pace. He bowls full, he bowls short. He bowls narrow, he bowls from wide. It seems like Shane has gone right through his whole bowling armoury with no sucess...
But if you can't beat them, you can always try bowling them around their legs... and Shane Warne certianly knows how to do that.
It has to make you wonder though... Was it all just part of the great bowler's plan?
Shane Warne at his tactical best here...
*(Have to admit, I was a fan of Sarwan at the height of his career. A short, tenacious batsman; he even bowled a little bit of leg-spin too...)
