Vale Shane Warne

[Albertross]

Rest easy mate. He was the real deal and will be missed by many cricket fans. One of the best to wear the baggy green. So sad to hear this news.

 

[KBLT]

I have no words. This was so sudden, it really makes you remember just how suddenly it can all end. Life's too short, live while you can.

 

[NSWCROW]

This is gonna sound morbid but if anyone was going to die younger it was Warnie

So in that regard I'm not surprised

Still devastated though

Yeah you already said that in your 1st post on the subject..............................................................

 

[Bluish]

His brash and macho persona somewhat masked what a supremely intelligent bowler Warne was. He was able to outwit and psychologically destroy batsmen.

There are many examples of this but this over to Craig McMillan is probably my favourite.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Seriously people already blaming it on the vaccine on Twitter have some respect for his family ****

Just fell one short of a ton at the WACA Warnie




I was at the WACA when South Africa were putting together a good partnership in around 2005/06

Enter Warnie, he got the WACA crowd revved up Dennis Lillee style and he got the breakthrough.

I've never seen anyone do that at the WACA apart from Lillee or maybe Terry Alderman at his peak.

Can’t believe it. Numb.

RIP

Hard to believe that his statue at the G from now on will read 1969 - 2022

There was nobody like Warnie. You couldn't help liking him - I think that's why it hits so hard.

 

[ams4crows]

Utterly devastated, just can not believe it

He was a childhood hero for me, absolutely loved watching him bowl


RIP Warnie, you bloody legend

 

[toml]

I don't think I have felt this level of shock to a death since Steve Irwin, feels like a punch in the face. RIP legend

Swampy, the sacking of David Beakley, now warne. Shocking few days on Australian cricket.

 

[Blue Arrow]

F me, I thought this was a joke thread when I first saw it.

RIP Warney.

 

[brutus76]

He CHANGED CRICKET FOREVER - he made EVERYONE want to bowl leg-spin in the 90s when previously it was "not cool".


Controversial? Sure. Larrikin? Absolutely. Outspoken? Without a doubt. But he gave his heart and soul to cricket.

RIP Warnie - there will never be another like you

This is when Warnie arrived.




The first flipper that bowled Richie Richardson.

 

[Around the Wicket]

This is tragic, he looked to be in the shape of his life...

 

[Plugger35]

Cullinan falling for the 3 card trick, a couple of pies and then bang undone by the flipper.

Today the cricket ball lost its biggest voice

I picture 6 new cricket balls at rest on the pitch , silent , at the cricket stumps with heads bowed , the Leg-spinner , the Top-spinner , the Googly , the Slider , the Flipper and the Zooter

In the way when Mel Blanc died the characters had lost their voice , heads bowed next to a voice microphone

 

[Around the Wicket]

52 and seemingly pretty healthy... suspect shit happens in Thailand, what was he even over there for?

52 and seemingly pretty healthy... suspect sh*t happens in Thailand, what was he even over there for?

Zyzz the internet legend died of a heart attack in Thailand and he was only 22, people go there for steroids and youth rejuvenation shit.

You don't just die at 22 or even 52, there is bad shit going down there.

Maybe Fentanyl, that's killing a lot of people, coke laced with Fentanyl.
