I still remember this grade-A filth from David Johnson. One of the widest deliveries to ever get a wicket. Sick catch from Azharuddin though.

Filth or actual genius?

To be fair to Slats, he'd faced one whole delivery before that one so he was well set to play that shot.
Carl Hooper's daisy cutter lbw against Hussain.
Simon Katich's full toss that Vaughan swiped down the throat of deep midwicket in 2005. Plenty of full tosses like that do take wickets, so in a sense nothing special about it, but Vaughan had gone into God mode in that innings after passing 100 so was frustrating he fell to such a pie

I dunno that David Johnson ball almost missed the cut strip

At least that one was a correct dismissal!

This Paul Strang one to Chanders is hilarious too. Similar to the Rogers wicket except he actually does get bowled.

Norwood's on Fire
Was the one I had in mind. Pretty sure it was a waist height no ball too?

Alok Kapali got de Villiers with a double bouncer back when they were still legal (stupid rule change).

Cook's ball to Sharma was pretty bad, although it was basically fixed.

Literally 90% of Liam Plunkett's career wickets.
Incredible how he pretty much made a career of sending down short slow pies that got caught on the boundary

Yeah exactly the one I thought of. It was part of the worst team innings I've ever seen as well. Multiple other dismissals were bad balls spooned to fielders and there were run outs too.

I was at this game and Kumble had the slowest walk off the ground I've ever seen, kept turning round looking depressed ... wouldn't have surprised me if he was actually crying.

How was this a bad delivery? I would argue that the worst deliveries are those that batsmen should have no difficulty with and would be embarrassed at getting out to. This ball was almost impossible to play and might have got many of the best batsmen in the world out.

That clip is awesome. Looks like a European Cricket vid (except the keeper would have dropped him and they'd run approximately 3.5 runs for a single in actuality), but this is professional cricket!
I guess a fair point, distinguishing between genuinely terrible deliveries that no batters should be getting out to and ones which take wickets due to some horrendous flukery.
