Shane Warne RIP

[Slime]

Possibly the greatest bowler of all time has been found dead at 52!
Shocking news, he'll be sorely missed.
Very, very sad.

RIP

 

[Tashyboy]

Bloody hell just seen it. Gutted. RIP Warney.

 

[Piece]

Stunned. My cricketing favourite, bar none.

The greatest bowler of all time.

As I said on the cricket thread, this news has stunned the cricket world. It takes a lot to actually upset me, and this genuinely has.

A fabulous cricketer, ambassador for his sport and nation, and one of my favourite pundits by an absolute mile.

I can still see the puzzled look on Mike Gatting’s face when he was bamboozled by perhaps the best delivery I have ever seen.

RIP Warney. The sporting world has lost a genuine great.

 

[Swango1980]

I hate cricket, yet this news still shocked me. Obviously a legend in the game, far too young.

Can't really add to that except to say he was the best bowler I ever saw.
Legend and genius.
Truly shocked by this.

Literally just heard this and am in shock. Way too young and so unexpected too. A true legend. RIP.

Also at 74 Rod Marsh, Australian wicketkeeper 96 tests. Ironically Shane Warne tweeted about Rod Marsh 13 hours ago.

RIP both. Extremely sad for The Aussies rodayhttps://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...twgr%5Etweet&usg=AOvVaw0ghRiwJvqI8qgN0faJxchP

And Rodney Marsh died just last week.

 

[IanM]

I woke up to the News about Marsh which was upsetting. I'd met him several times.

Then Warne. 53. Blooming awful.

 

[Robster59]

Two Aussie legends gone in a short period of time.
Warne was one of the greatest bowlers I've ever seen.

 

[Carlwm]

What a player.

That first ball in '93, eh? What an introduction to the Ashes. Love this tribute to it:

 

[AliMc]

Had brief chat with him when he was playing at Archerfield in one of Ian Botham's charity days, he was at a table next to ours with Botham and Graham Gooch, he seemed a genuinely down to earth cheery bloke

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Jeez ??

 

[Foxholer]

Sad news.
But at least it'll stop Mike Gatting losing hair about 'the ball of the century'!

 

[Yorkhacker]

Can't believe it so soon after Rodney Marsh, and so young. Australia will definitely be mourning 2 cricketing legends.

 

[patricks148]

A real shock, only 52.

My fave cricketer, changed the game in the 90s.

Deeply saddened, I met him once and chatted about legs spin with him and my inability to bowl a googly

Probably because he did not know what you were talking about! Sorry

 

[IanM]

Poor old Radar just lost it when they spoke about it on the golf commentary. Very sad.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

GOAT in terms of bowlers. Would love to have been a fly on the wall when he and Botham went out for a night too
