Warne turned the spotlight towards debutant Natarajan, raising questions over his play in Brisbane. While a nervous Natarajan, who made his Test debut at the Gabba and also played his first games in Blue during the same tour, Shane Warne hinted at severe foul play by the 29-year-old speedster. The former spinner expressed intrigue over the no-balls bowled by Natarajan in the final Test which began on Friday.
Natarajan, who bagged three wickets in the first innings while giving away 78 runs and remained wicket-less in the second innings, bowled 6 no-balls in the first innings of the match. Reacting to the same, Warne who was commentating during the game, said that the no-balls caught his eye since they were 'miles over' the crease. Citing that five of the illegal deliveries were on the first ball of the over, Warne's remarks suggested of foul play by the debutant.
