Slow bouncers started trending in the T20 era, but quite a while before that a few bowlers have tried the same in One Day Internationals. In this video, Watson is seeing unleashing one of them at Kallis, who is completely out of shape when he realises the ball is still arriving.
Luckily, the bouncer is so slow that Kallis has time to readjust and pull in front of his face even as the batsman and the Australian fielders break into laughter.

How slow is that slower bouncer from @ShaneRWatson33 ? @jacqueskallis75 could have played two shots. He’s all smiles. pic.twitter.com/S664SflHk7
