Australia went into the game 2-1 down, needing a victory to retain the Frank Worrell Trophy, with Warne having struggled in the series. The man who would go onto become Australia’s leading Test wicket-taker had claimed just 2-268 across the first three games, with leg-spin counterpart Stuart MacGill having taken seven wickets at an average of just over 30 apiece.

The video shows Steve Waugh breaking the news at the toss – “It’s obviously hard when a great player misses out” – but mostly consisted of an interview with then-selector Allan Border, notable since in Warne’s telling of the story in his 2018 autobiography No Spin he described Border as having only been brought into the conversation after the selection meeting had taken place, as a second opinion.

“Obviously he’s very disappointed,” said Border at the time. “It will take him just a little while to come to grips with the fact that he’s not playing, but he’s a very good character, a strong character, he’s the vice-captain of the side, and he’ll be in there trying to pump the boys up because they need a little bit of a lift after the last two Test matches and he’s one bloke that can give that lift. Even though he’s not playing the game, he’ll have a role in whether Australia win this game or not.”

Footage of Australia warming up showed Warne playing a lacklustre part in the team drills. Despite a quickfire Lara century, Australia won the final Test by 176 runs. MacGill claimed five wickets and Warne’s replacement Miller took 3-66 across both innings.
