The Ball of the Century, also sometimes known as the Gatting Ball , was a cricket delivery bowled by Australian bowler Shane Warne to English batsman Mike Gatting on 4 June 1993, during the first Test match of the 1993 Ashes cricket series, at Old Trafford in Manchester.
The leg spin Warne imparted to the ball caused it to swerve in towards Gatting in its flight through the air, and then to deviate sharply away from him on bouncing. Such was the angle of deviation that Gatting was taken completely by surprise; the ball hit his wicket and thus dismissed him (bowled), turning the balance of the match in Australia's favour. It was Warne's first ball against England in what would turn into a long and record-breaking career, and became recognised as being of considerable significance in the context of the match, the series, and cricket in general. The ball remains one of Warne's favourite deliveries.

"Ball of the Century" was Shane Warne's first delivery bowled in Ashes test match to Michael Gatting. The delivery is famus because it turned from outside leg stump toGatting's left stump.

He bowled out England's Mark Gatting. It was Warne's debut (1993) and also the first ball he bowled.
