Shane Warne dead at 52

[Member Berry]

this is very upsetting news

 

[trundler]

In presenting him the Oz MOTS in 05, Atherton said something along the lines of, the word great is often overused but here it’s appropriate - ladies and gentlemen, the great Shane Warne.

The words icon, legend, genius and artist are thrown around too but Warne was all that and more. Just a once in a lifetime cricketer. What the ****.

RIP. Tragic news.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

It's almost impossible to know what to write. Absolutely gutted.

 

[Agent TBY]

Oh no. No.

How many have we "grew up in the 90s" generation lost? Crowe, and now Warne?

And it had to be Warne? JFC.

RIP. Just shattered.

RIP to the most box office bowler of his generation

 

[Furball]

An absolute icon. The greatest spin bowler I've had the pleasure of watching.

I am ****ing sad right now. The greatest cricketer I have actually spoken to. I wrote that big piece on his cricketing retirement here that I should dig up. Whatever be his faults, he seemed very very generous when talking cricket and to cricketers. One of the real stars - genius, icon, legend - any adjective you use, he was worthy of it. This hits hard man, hits personally.

This is the post I had written.

Legend of the game and will be unequalled. Just showed the beauty of leg spin to the world.

I don’t know how to even react to this.. If you are a cricket fan, you were a Warne fan.
