Watch: Watson bowls the slowest of slow bouncers that has Kallis playing a shot twice

by Wisden Staff 2 minute read

Watch: Shane Watson bowled an incredibly slow delivery to befuddle Jacques Kallis in this 2002 ODI game between South Africa and Australia.

Slow bouncers started trending in the T20 era, but quite a while before that a few bowlers have tried the same in One Day Internationals. In this video, Watson is seeing unleashing one of them at Kallis, who is completely out of shape when he realises the ball is still arriving.

Luckily, the bouncer is so slow that Kallis has time to readjust and pull in front of his face even as the batsman and the Australian fielders break into laughter.
