James Anderson turned 40 on Saturday, an age where many pacemen of previous eras would have long since retired. But the 'king of swing' shows no sign of stopping, with Anderson in line still to be leading England's attack during next month's three-Test series at home to South Africa. The sheer physical strain of fast bowling meant it was once considered all but unthinkable for a Test 'quick' to go much beyond their mid-30s.
England vs New Zealand: Dean Wilson reports on second day at Headingley
A day after Yasir Shah brought back memories of Shane Warne's 'Ball of the Century' with his sharp leg-break to dismiss Kusal Mendis, Sri Lanka spinner Prabath Jayasuriya produced an absolute ripper to dismiss Pakistan's talismanic captain Babar Azam. Babar, well set in Pakistan's chase on Day 4 of the first Test, was beaten all ends up by Jayasuriya's brilliant delivery. The left-arm spinner, coming from over the wicket, bowled it on the rough outside leg. The Pakistan skipper looked to pad it away, but the ball instead went around his legs and clattered onto the stumps.
A Yasir Shah delivery was drawing comparisons with Shane Warne's "ball of the century" on Tuesday, the day after the Pakistan leg-spinner ripped out Kusal Mendis.
Shane Warne's 'Ball of the Century' to dismiss Sri Lankan batter Kusal Mendis. Shah produced this peach of delivery during the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle. The delivery and the mode of dismissal were remarkably similar to the delivery Warne had produced to dismissing England's Mike Gatting in 1993. On Day three of the Test match during Sri Lanka's second innings, Shah delivered an absolutely unplayable delivery that pitched well outside the leg stump and hit the top of the right-hand batter's off stump after spinning unbelievably.
Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah on Monday bamboozled Sri Lanka batter Kusal Mendis with a peach of a delivery. In the ongoing first Test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at the Galle International Stadium, the spinner pitched the ball outside leg stump to Mendis and made it turn from there to hit the off stump. The delivery from Yasir was similar to the "Ball of the Century" bowled by the late great Shane Warne, Australia's legendary leg-spinner, during the early 1990s.
The approach to Australian cricket's Mecca in Melbourne is tantamount to a batsman striding towards the crease. The monument to Dennis Lillee is suitably imperious, the seamer, ball in hand, immortalised at the point of delivery.
