Monty Panesar feels his delivery to Sachin in 2012/13 series was better than Warne's 'ball of the century'

Monty Panesar and Graeme Swann were the architects of England's 2-1 Test series win against India in 2012/13. While they lost the first Test by a big margin, the turnaround started with England bringing on Panesar for the second Test and him getting a five-wicket haul in India's first innings at Wankhede. One of the prized wickets that he picked was that of Sachin Tendulkar, which he now reckons was better than the one that Shane Warne famously bowled to bamboozle Mike Gatting in the 1993 Ashes. "When I bowled I was like, gosh, I feel so fit, I feel strong, my action feels great, I felt like I could really flight the ball and spin it.
