This is my depiction of 'the ball of the Century' in the 2017 Ashes. It shows James Vince of England being bowled by a fantastic ball from Australia's Mitchell Starc. The ball hit one of the famous cracks in the final test match to be played at the Perth WACA and took a sharp deviation which completely wrong footed the batsman.
