The 1993 English cricket season was the 94th in which the County Championship had been an official competition. The highlight was the dramatic arrival on the English scene of Shane Warne and his remarkable "Gatting Ball". Australia, led by Allan Border, now had a very strong team and won the Ashes series 4-1. Mike Gatting made amends on the domestic scene as he led Middlesex to another Britannic Assurance County Championship.
