Vale Shane Warne

[RohitSharma]

Guys don't you think Warne looked better when he was chubby? I blame Elizabeth Hurley to make him feel self conscious. The golden boy with gold hair created magic over the years still hard for me.

This has come up for sale on eBay and I'm lost for words quite frankly. Ladies and gents a signed Shane Warne urinal, an actual Warnie pisser.

Wait for Warnie's sniff.

Grade cricketer did a podcast and played tributes that people from all over the world sent it.

A handful of poms saying they got into the sport as kids thanks to watching Warne bowl during the 05 ashes, I imagine there would have been many more.

 

[Osho]

Like most of you I've been watching hours on end of SKW. A lot of interviews with peers and game highlights. Has an Oz player ever been more loved abroad? The close friendships and respect from UK is astonishing. It really is a cricketing fraternity with no borders.

I have been struck by many things about SKW. One is his fast rise to the test side after being sacked by St Kilda, with a very limited number of first class games under his belt. Then the learning curve from his first test games to his next series, astonishing.

Another noticable thing is how SKW looked over the last 10 years, not that healthy, poor looking facial skin. Espesh compared to some similar aged colleagues who though graying looked healthier. Coupled with his notoroisly poor diet, well, it doesn't look or sound good. 52 is extremely young, despite his brilliantly lived life, his authenticity, the kid who did everything. EVERYTHING.

Another point that came to mind is the comparison with Bradman. The former disliked intensely by a segment of Oz cricketers, and quite a few in his sides, the other seemingly universally liked.

I was thinking of going on a liquid diet but after reading Warne's sad farewell I will stick to my normal diet. Gavaskar is such a piece of sh*t mates, guy should be kicked out from commentary.

Nothing beats a balanced healthy diet, Shane had 20 years as a professional athlete he would have had plenty of knowledge of health and nutrition not to take short cuts, sadly it probably contributed to his early death.

He was very vain throughout his whole career and I've listened to a podcast where he admitted to having a obsession on how he looks. I do agree though, he looked better and was probably healthier when he let himself go a little bit.

You only have to look at his last commentary stint a few weeks back you could tell he had whacked abit on and all the photos of his day of his death he looked very thin, so he wasn't losing weight in a healthy way, you shouldn't be looking dramatically different in the matter of 2 or 3 weeks.

It’s been one week.

[Gough]

Still seems a bit unreal.

 

[AdelaideGT]

hope the state funeral at the G is open to the public

Well, it's unlikely the family will be sending out 100,000 invitations.

State funerals often have the public outside the venue if the church (etc) is full, in any case.

Growing up watching Terry Jenner

Post-cricket (and post-prison) Jenner was a champion darts player too. Another game where wrist action matters.

 

[peternorth]

And Terry Jenner also died from a heart attack. Synergy with warne always

And Terry Jenner also died from a heart attack.

From that vaxx too.

 

[Gough]

The Time Of My Life from Dirty Dancing was played as his coffin did a lap of Moorabbin. Good old Warnie just as tacky in death as he was in life.

His life has been nothing if not eventful, and he did enjoy a bit of 80s bombast, so I feel it's a fitting way to bid him farewell.

Tickets out now

 

[troybe]

Got mine. Who else is going?

Warnie delivered many leg spin tutorials. I'd wager this is his earliest one ahead of the 1997 Ashes series in England.

Yeah but there are better songs to pick than that one.
