What a devastating 24 hours for the Australian cricket community

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Holy sh*t. Warney too.

A bit to come out on this one I'd wager

Could be, although cardiovascular issues are more common in the year after a significant Covid infection (recall that Warne had a severe enough infection in September that he was put on a ventilator).

Long Covid is real!

Hope he was behaving himself in Thailand. Old habits die hard though.

Rip legend. 52 is scary young.

I kinda hope the opposite. Not to tarnish Warneys legacy or for any gotcha moment, but because of what you said - 52 is scary young. Harder to accept it was natural causes at 52.

'On a ventilator': Staggering details emerge in Shane Warne fight

Shane Warne says he was placed on a ventilator after testing positive for Covid-19. Read what he had to say here.

au.sports.yahoo.com

The 52-year-old made the staggering admission that he was placed on a ventilator to ensure he didn't suffer any lingering effects of the virus.

“It wasn’t because I could not breathe, or anything like that, it was basically a special ventilator that I was trialling to make sure there were no longer-lasting effects that Covid would have on me," he said.

Sad , Sad Loss . Probably the greatest ever .

" Shane Warne was named in Wisden's five cricketers of the twentieth century , alongside fellow Australian Sir Donald Bradman , West Indians Sir Garfield Sobers and Sir Vivian Richards and England's Sir Jack Hobbs ."

In good company indeed .

A very bad 24 hours for Australian cricket with the loss of two legends.

 

[larrikin]

In absolute shock right now.

 

[WCErevival]

Surely something more comes out about this. I cant believe this is a natural occurence at his age

A very bad 24 hours for Australian cricket with the loss of two wickets.

We've only taken one

 

[Truckosaurus]

We've only taken one

Look, last night I dreamt we were 3/11 after Pakistan amassed 949 before stumps so the actual score looks great by comparison.

MCG's Great Southern Stand to become the S.K. Warne Stand.

Need to break through early today while the ball is still slightly newish. Otherwise Pakistan will bat for another 2.5 sessions today.

Bowlers did well to stick to the task and keep the total to only 245. Not sure it will count for much if they don't get some poles though. They will flag by the second session and runs will flow.

Lots of talk on the cricket board that the team will struggle to get up, given Warne's departure. Not sure that is exactly true, he has probably bagged most of the players at some stage or another in his media roles.

Starc to take a hattrick.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

This is so sad. Can hardly believe it...
RIP Warnie you legend.

 

[KERRPOW]

Im absolutely floored to be honest.

Can't be true? I'm shook

We need a tear reaction.

Im blown away in shock

Very sad day. We have just lost the best cricketer of our generation well before we should have.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Gilly's tribute is very moving...

 

[Woutizmoo]

can someone help me out here? I remember someones AB Medal speech massively talked up how much of a good campaigner Warne was (in the midst of him getting slayed in the media) I can't remember who it was
wanted to find it to show my missus how important a guy he was

 

[KBLT]

Is the pitch in Pakistan super flat, or are we just bowling terribly?

Flat as a tack. Absolute dream toss to win

 

[DickDunn]

The Warnie highlights being played between sessions - man. Doubt there’ll ever be more a watchable bowler

 

[Ochre]

Absolute road.

Aus to still be all out 140.
