DAVID LLOYD ANALYSIS

As soon as that ball left Adil Rashid’s hand you could tell it was something absolutely special because of the perfect way the seam was rotating. Then it dipped in slightly at Virat Kohli. The delivery did him all ends up and hit the top of off-stump after pitching on leg. It was a delivery that any bowler would dream of. Inevitably this will be compared to the Shane Warne magic ball to Mike Gatting at Old Trafford in 1993. You have to say that Warne's delivery pitched outside leg-stump before hitting off and both spun and dipped in more than Rashid's. And with the size of Gatting it had to spin a long way to get past him. But that should take nothing away from Rashid, particularly when you consider who he bowled it against. Yesterday's was a special ball because it was bowled at a special player. Kohli had never before been clean bowled by a leg-spinner in one day cricket - as you could tell by the surprise on his face. Kohli’s eyes popped out of his head afterwards as if to say ‘where did that come from?’ A truly fabulous piece of bowling by Rashid. A wonderball.
