Shane Warne dead at 52

[Shady Slim]

obviously i can't speak for people in other countries, but warnie had this certain, ubiquity

if you're not a footy fan, you might not know cameron smith or jonathan thurston. if you're not an afl fan, you might not know wayne carey or buddy franklin. if you're not a golf fan, you might not know adam scott. if you're not a cricket fan, heck, you might not know don bradman. but everyone. and when i say that i mean everyone in this country, knew warnie. i guarantee you more people could pick warnie in a lineup than the queen, the pm, you name them, whoever.

I posted a Facebook status about Warnie's passing and the first comment is from my idiot cousin, commenting 'Vax injury?'

And in the sign that the universe has a morbid sense of humour, Warne passed away on Darryl Cullinan's birthday.

****. So they're saying the leading causes of death will continue to be the leading causes of death? That's alarming.

This is sad.

When I was 10-11 years old, I was playing in this local cricket game where the batsmen smashed me for 2 sixes in the 4th and 5th ball. I tried imitating Warne's bowling action and bowled a leg spinner on the last ball and got the batsman bowled. Tried this a few times later on but just couldn't replicate it.

More than the numbers or anything, Warne bought excitement to test cricket with his skill. Something that very few people can/could do.

Cameron Smith is very different to Warne

He’s another Bradman

Basically a cyborg whom most people can’t relate to

Warne was the guy at the pub who was also a genius

People love Warne

They look at Bradman & Smith in disbelief and many hated them

well that's my point right? the man just transcended every boundary that you possibly could, beyond being a cricketer he's probably the single most iconic figure this country has ever produced, both domestically and abroad imho - i don't say that lightly either

Probably correct

I broke up with my ex 25 years ago and we have spoken twice in all these years until today

We have spoken 3 times today

Like dealing with the death of a Pope

Hey, he was a *** pest but he wasn't as bad as a Pope

yeah, my sister asked me today if i'm doing okay. she wouldn't do that for any other celebrity i'm a fan of. and it's not like I talked about Warne often, but she obviously knows I love cricket. Warne was such a big part of our lives(in my case childhood) and most of us didn't even realise it.

Shocked. Truly shocked. Watching Warne was like witnessing live theatre at its best. Spellbinding and utterly enthralling.

I'll leave it there
