Mitchell Starc's delivery to James Vince was an absolute
Jaffa, but to term it as the ball of the Ashes or ball of the century is a pretty
overrated statement. Especially, 'Ball of the century'.
If a delivery is rated as the 'Ball of the century' on the
basis of #Ashes then it's quite funny. In the history of Test cricket there are
many deliveries better than this or Shane Warne's delivery to Gatting.
Neither do we have idea about deliveries before the
television era nor idea about those deliveries since matches started to get
telecast on TV. The amount of live telecast of matches were lesser in amount
before cable television burst into the scene in 90s.
It's tough to rate any deliveries as so highly or any
deliveries as 'Ball of the century' or 'Ball of the Ashes'.
If I need to term any delivery as the best of all times
since 90s on Australian soil, it would be Wasim Akram's mesmerising stuff to
Allan Lamb in the World Cup final at MCG. Wasim bowled from round the wicket,
got the ball to move the other way from an acute angle - far, far better than
Starc and should be the all-time best delivery ever bowled on Australian soil
since the 90s.
