Was just about to start a thread, shocked by the news.

Australia legend Warne dies aged 52

Legendary Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne, one of the greatest cricketers of all time, dies of a suspected heart attack aged 52.

Absolutely stunned. Incredible spin bowler. Along with Murali, the greatest of all-time in my opinion. Only 52 as well. RIP

 

[Marked Ox]

Bloody hell. RIP.

 

[chuckbert]

One of the most iconic cricketers. Totally shocked.

Unbelievable!!! Arguably the best spinner I’ve ever seen, and that’s ever played the game of Cricket.

Heart attack at 52. Great shame, and no age at all. He was a Great pundit too.

There was a love hate relationship with Warnie. Hated him because he always bowled us out, and loved to of had him in our team.

RIP warnie. Massive shame!

 

[Manorlounger]

Far too young.

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Terrible shock, one of the goats, hard to imagine he has died. RIP

 

[holdsteady]

Used to drink in the Dewdrop in Summertown when he was with Liz Hurley occasionally. A life lived to the full even if it was cut short and he was an all time great cricketer.

 

[MJB]

Another shocking piece of news.

Looking at the headline and date of the article below, it’s perhaps even more shocking and shows how anyone of us can be here one minute and gone the next.

 

[Northstandboy]

Such uch a character, will be missed.


Literally the day after Rod Marsh died. You can't write it

RIP Warney and Marsh

 

[Morris Oxford]

Shocked!

Legend is an often overused word in all sport, but he was an true legend of Australian and world cricket.

One of the all time great spin bowlers if not the greatest.

RIP.

Is that true? I never knew that.

195 wickets in 36 Ashes tests against England. We loathed him because he was so good. We loved him because we wanted him in our team. He loved being the panto villain and embraced the ribbing from the crowds. He could back it up with his deliveries too and his batting was more than decent.

What a player. So sad to see him depart this life earlier than he should have done. RIP Shane Warne.

‘Bowling, Warney!’

 

[SteMerritt]

Ball of the Century to Gatting...



...but then that wasn't a one-off to Warne, he did it to Strauss as well...



He also bowled a bouncer to Pietersen...

 

[Sarge]

cricketing legend ... best spin bowler of all time? ....perennial thorn in the side of England test batsmen RIP

 

[Leysboy]

He posted on Twitter 1:54am about the death of Rod Marsh, and more or less straight after he’s gone too. Unbelievable.

Yeah, my mate used to drink there and Liz Hurleys kid went to a private school nearby so they would pop in for a drink occasionally.

 

[Foley]

Shocked too.
He is the best bowler I can remember seeing . A magician with a cricket ball. A really aggressive leg spinner.
He also seemed to always have fun.
RIP

And of course the Ball of Century also led to this marvel too.

I recently rewatched my 2005 Ashes DVDs.

And even in a losing effort, the guy was an absolute genius. I've never seen anyone else that could get the turn he did, or offer the ridiculous variations he could muster.

Poor Andrew Strauss was absolutely tormented that series. He received a succession of the most unplayable deliveries anyone in Test cricket has ever seen!

And even though he played for the Aussies, his sheer enthusiasm, love for the game and general sporting decency made it hard not to like the guy personally as well.

Shocking news. He was no age. Just goes to show how fragile life can be......

 

[MarkG]

Waiting for the ghouls to be asking how he really died , the circumstances etc.

Waiting for the ghouls to be asking how he really died , the circumstances etc.

It's out in the press.

 

[MJB]

What a photo. Sums it up as an English cricket fan - even though he played for them, you loved him because he was one of the best, if not the best. A cricketing genius and a huge personality.

The world will be a bit duller without him.

incredibly misleading headline. Two medics say they reckon it may have been a factor, also going on to acknowledge that he was a heavy smoker, drinker and drug taker. No actual proof at all. And a quick google shows both of the doctors have worked hard to boost their profiles with anti lockdown and covid hoax stuff, one even being a party candidate for a fringe right wing anti lockdown "Christian" party.

Attention seeking grifters who are speaking to get headlines rather than to get closer to the truth. If they cared about the truth they might offer more nuance than they do.
