Vale Shane Warne

[Sky]

Mad St Kilda fan would be chilling with Spud. Rest easy lads.

 

[Lethality]

He was just yesterday eulogising Rod Marsh. Now he's gone as well.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Thanks for the memories

 

[Rod Stroker]

Stunned.

Reported that he had a heart attack in Koh Samui Thailand.

 

[Funbeanman]

I honestly never saw this coming we all are in total shock right now

RIP Warney

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Shell shocked.

I have no words.

 

[Chicago1]

I was checking the news headlines before I went to bed and saw this....

Memory eternal

 

[Andrew Mc]

Wow. Very much lost for words. Vale Shane.

 

[Maddo11]

[iBeng]

Wowee thats...out of no where...

 

[Magma]

its just like growing up he was the guy. it was warnie. you liked the others, but growing up on late 90's early 2000's australian cricket, he was the man. no one looked like him, no one bowled like him, no one was him.

**** man.

Everyone would have their own favorite Warnie memories. Mine was the 2005 ashes in england. Felt like when everyone else in the team except maybe Michael Clarke and Brett Lee were struggling he got even better. He was unplayable and seemed to be even better the harder the series got.

 

[Azarole]

Don’t wanna believe it. RIP, king.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Can't believe it...

Well I can... he lived hard...

Agreed although I don’t think it was the unplayable ‘spin balls round corners’ Warne that he built his reputation on, this was relentless, determined, dogged Warne who would just ask questions ball after ball and only the very best we’re able to cope with it for long enough - Strauss in a couple of innings, Pietersen for a few sessions at a time befor his Oval century, he was amazing that series

 

[The Prosecutor]

I couldn't stand his commentary, but the void he'll leave behind in world cricket will never be replaced.

Truly larger than life.

Completely agree, it was the least 'dangerous' Warne considering how close to retirement he was and his shoulder being toast etc. It was more the dogged determination to carry us on his back. He was relentless as you said, every ball for every session for 5 test matches you thought we were a chance. Felt like he could have opened the bowling and then bowled the last one at night and would have been ready to go the next day.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Man was a genius of his craft, always watchable.

Many a moment spent as a kid trying to bowl like him.

There will never be another one like him.

Vale Warney

Day like today in Pakistan you really appreciate what Warne brought to the team back in the day. Always felt like the next wicket was coming soon.

 

[Wild Kelly]

Another minutes silence before day 2 in the Rawalpindi test.

 

[GoDees2021]

Man this is hitting hard, I wanna be able to write something that even comes close to representing how special he was as a cricketer but I dont know how.

 

[2 eazy]

Lost for words gone too soon had so much to give to world and cricket in particular. My hero just passed away the local park where we're we used to play crickets on Saturday all wanted to spin it like him. God rest his soul.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

In a strange quirk of fate Warne passes away on Daryll Cullinan's birthday.

I don't think we'll ever see a cricketer ever be as wrecked as Cullinan was against Warne.
