Shane Warne has been mocked for celebrating the anniversary of arguably the most famous ball in the history of cricket on social media - for the past six years.
Almost every year Warne has said he 'can't believe it was 2X years ago' since he bowled his Ball of the Century in England and put his career in to overdrive.
The legendary leg spinner's delivery to dismiss Mike Gatting during the 1993 Ashes series is widely considered the best ball ever bowled in Test cricket.
An eagle-eyed twitter user noticed the annual pattern and posted a collaboration of Warne's tweets.
