Steve Irwin?

I remember Steve Irwin's being pretty intensely followed.

EDIT: Beaten.

 

[271 & 16/166]

Phil Hughes, maybe not on scale but hugely tragic and he was so young. Victor Trumper and Archie Jackson also

Just watching the Amazon Prime Video documentary that was made a couple of months before his death. It would have been great viewing anyway but seems incredibly poignant now.

I found the Sky lunchtime feature "Bowled Shane" quite difficult to watch with him already no longer around. My first Ashes series was 1972 and with this being the 50th anniversary I was gutted by the passing of Rod Marsh, but whilst not being very old he did at least have a more natural lifespan.

The one thing that has become so clear from everything I've watched and seen since Warne's passing, is that anybody that knew him, or even just crossed paths in a brief encounter....... loved the bloke, like for real. Yeah his commentary was ordinary at best....you can talk about his philandering and (without knowing him) call him a **** person for it.........but y'know......."he who casts the first stone" or some **** like that.

No idea realy what the point of this post is, except that my take on Warne is that he was a very genuine, lovable rogue who was very much loved by those around him.........oh, and that davado **** can **** right off.

Yeah, kind of jarring seeing this thread as a reminder. Doesn't quite compute.
