The Worst Ball in History?

[Nige]

Some of you may have seen and/or heard about Ravindra Jadeja's shocker of a delivery to Jonathan Trott. To add insult to injury, Trott went after it and sent it straight to the boundary for four.

Is this the worst ball in history?

Steve Harmison's wide taken at slip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Y6T44tzIc

Morne Morkel's wide that ran to the boundary for four. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5ukRM8Ffok

These two probably compete with it.

Or does this take the cake?

John Howard's way of proving he really is a cricket tragic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o8by05rtMY

Ah, Howards never gets old.  ::)

Ah, Howards never gets old.  ::)

Lol no it doesnt, the sad part is he went back and repeated it a couple more times from memory.  :o

[elephants]

Howard clearly a batsmen. It's just wrong that they forced him in to bowl :(

Amateur, that's nothing, Morkel's (posted below) is worse and what i have is the worst. ;)

When i first saw today's ball i thought it reminded me exactly of one bowled 20odd years ago. This takes the cake easily, by England great Philip Clive Roderick "Tuffers" Tufnell:

Tuffers released the ball too early, Ravi released too late.

Either way no remorse was shown to Tufnell or Jadeja

Just continuous shower bowling (all bowling taken from one innings after 00:10)

Yep this the worst by far. Brought shame on a country not many deliveries bar John Howards (i jest) could do that. Trevor should have had big enough ones to tell Greg to get stuffed im not doing it, but i lay most of the blame at Gregs feet the tosser.

Captain should always win in any instruction.....Trevor arguing would have been a mutiny...and therefore punishable by death.. :o..now I am sounding like Captain Jack Sparrow..sadly

I agree the Captain has the last word T Dog and his word is final under normal cricketing circumstances and situations but Gregs decision to force his brother to ball underarm didnt come under any of those two criterias and Trevor would of been within his right to tell him to get flowered. Rod Marsh at the other end was yelling out dont do it mate dont do it. Should of listened to him. If i was your Captain and asked you to ball underarm im pretty sure youd tell me to go get flowered. Just my 2 cents worth.  :(
