Shane Warne dead at 52

[mr_mister]

Definitely his greatest spell

 

[Daemon]

What the **** no

This is horrible

 

[Burgey]

Can’t sleep. Just numb

 

[nightprowler10]

Still feels so surreal. Incredible loss to cricket.

 

[chris.hinton]

It's one of those moments which stop you in your tracks. Horrible and so Sudden

RIP Shane Warne.

The Greatest Bowler ever.

As they say"heroes get remembered legends never die."

 

[sunilz]

Just can't believe the news.
2020-22 have been extremely painful.

 

[kyear2]

Wow, WTH, and out of nowhere.

R.I.P to an absolute legend

Definitely getting too many of these threads...

What absolutely shocking news to wake up to.

A dreadful week for sport losing All Blacks Va’aiga Tuigamala (52) and Joeli Vidiri (48) as well as now Marsh and Warne.

Warne is for me the greatest bowler of my generation. As someone else in this thread said, he had the crowd transfixed every time he came onto bowl, and no one could question his absolute passion and love for the game.

 

[Slifer]

Damn!!!

 

[Pothas]

Still can't quite believe this is true.

 

[Xuhaib]

Never thought passing of a celebrity I never met will hit me so much just makes me realise even more how great of an influence he was during my childhood and teenage .

Also hearts out for Australian team warne is probably Australia biggest cricket icon along with Bradman will be tough for them to stay switched on for this game.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I can't believe that the 2 biggest Commonwealth sporting freaks of the 1990s are both gone: Jonah Lomu and Shane Warne

 

[subshakerz]

Oh God, this is horrible news. RIP legend.

 

[wpdavid]

Shocked. As someone else said, Marsh going at 74 is bad enough, but obviously this is just an obscenely young age to pass away.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Genuinely stunned. Clicked onto the Guardian sport page and was greeted with this.

Jeez, I have no words. Bloke was an absolute magician with the ball.

52, feck's sake. Literally no age, but I bet the lovable larrikin packed an awful lot of living into those years.

 

[Anil]

stunning news, the greatest leg spinner ever by a country mile...such a huge loss to cricket! just turned 52 myself so it hits uncomfortably close to home for me on that front too! ****!

 

[SteveNZ]

My first thought is for his kids, absolutely devastating for them - 3 people who you could see in the doco on Amazon Prime that adored him and despite all his flaws and time away, had clearly given his all to his kids.

One hell of a life, taken far too soon. Bloody tragic.

 

[nzfan]

Shocking... Depressing news to wake up to. Larger than life sort of bloke. Truly a legend, a great story teller, excellent motivator, outstanding sense of humor and think of leg spin, starts and ends with this man's name. This one is very hard to fathom.

 

[MW1304]

One of those things that hits you harder than you even would have expected. Not that you could foresee it.

Took the wind out of my sails completely. What a sad loss to the whole game.
