It's still so weird. Like, we knew he had a party lifestyle but so young.
Holy s**t, he was so damn young. Speechless.

He was the best that ever was. Just an absolute genius with the ball. RIP King

Not quite the Gatting ball does anyone remember when he used to call Ian Bell the “Sherminator”? Classic stuff.

Stunned. What Warne did with the ball took so much skill.
And within 24 hours of the great Rod Marsh. Jones, Davidson and Mallett as well. Sad 12-18 months for Aussie cricket.

Apparently he was working to get himself in healthier shape/fitter in the months before his death too. Absolutely horrible news

What a player. He was arrogant on the field but when you are that good you can be. He turned out to be a great commentator. Very informative and his double act with Bumble was classic.
RIP.
RIP.

I’ll never enjoy watching an athlete as much as I did Warne. He was a magician and you couldn’t stop watching if he was bowling. He was a megastar but it always felt like he was still one of us. For a generation he was cricket.
Great Southern Stand is now the S.K Warne Stand. Very easy decision that.
Still feels surreal.

Yep, Marsh was upsetting, but he was a couple of decades before my time. It hits a lot harder when it happens to someone who I grew up watching and in awe of what he could accomplish.

Are the Aussie Cricket team going to be able to return home for the funeral?

Yeah this is how I feel as well.
Particularly fond memories of I think an Aus tour of Sri Lanka and the Warne vs Murali battle. Two best spinners of all time going head to head, great to see.
Definitely remember that, and poor Ian Bell, he actually did have a resemblance to the Sherminator. Once I heard that quip, I couldn’t unsee it. Warne at his mind******* best.
The Amazon documentary is very very good, watched it last month and it was lovely to devote such time in it for his three kids to speak.
A devastating loss for them. Still stunned.

As iconic as the Gatting ball was, my favourite Warnie moment is the ball that dismissed KP in the Amazing Adelaide test. That completely turned the match on its head en route to one of our greatest ever test wins.

Law Changes:
- Mankad to be moved from Law 41 (Unfair play) to Law 38 (Run Out).
- New Batsman will face next delivery regardless of whether they crossed. Exception being end of over.
- Saliva no longer permitted to shine the ball.

Reckon the ball rule will be local ruled by amateur leagues. Can’t see no saliva being policed by weekend pocket change hobby umpires around the country.

is there a reason as to why the crossing over law has changed? i thought they had banned anything on the ball for a while now, totally agree with no saliva/mints/sandpaper
