Back to the front

Warne went round the wicket, with a packed onside field. Laxman on drove, for four. Steve Waugh and Shane Warne consulted, then took a man out of the off side, and reinforced the onside cordon. In came Warne again -- and bowled a curving delivery, about a foot and a half outside leg. Laxman danced down the track, covered the line then moved outside in and with the minimum of effort, executed as perfect an extra cover drive as most batsmen manage to play to deliveries outside off.
