0/113, then beers with Shane Warne: Hounded Aussie bowler cracked open few cold ones to forget ‘greatest ODI’ nightmare

Former Australian fast bowler Mick Lewis found himself enduring a brutal baptism of fire during a historic 2006 one-day international against South Africa, conceding one hundred and thirteen runs without claiming a wicket across ten overs. That disastrous outing proved to be his final international appearance for his country, leaving lingering psychological scars long after the match concluded.

Fortunately, spin legend Shane Warne offered timely solace to his struggling compatriot by inviting him up to his hotel room for a few cold drinks to help lift his spirits. Despite the immense public scrutiny and distress he faced following the record-breaking run chase, Lewis ultimately recognized the privilege of participating in such an iconic sporting spectacle.
