I will always remember "that" delivery against Mike Gatting.
A sad day for Aussie cricket losing Rod Marsh as well

 

[The Nomad]

Just seen the news.. Warnie was unplayable.

A true great, will miss his commentary.

Absolutely stunned. Only 12hrs ago he was tweeting about the tragic passing of Rod Marsh another legend of the game.

I'll always remember his ball against Mike Gatting, the ball of the century in the 1991 Ashes. Unbelievable cricketer and a damn good bloke. Raises tin to the sky.

Enjoy playing with God's 11

Shocked. RIP

 

[Holle]

Ashes to ashes.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Arguably the best player to ever walk on a cricket pitch and so entertaining with it!

At least Daryll Cullinan will be able to sleep at night now!

 

[Red Astaire]

Bloody hell! Such a loss. 52!!

 

[Bradley]

RIP that man.

 

[dantes]

The over against south africa in the world cup was a thing a beauty.

 

[The Nomad]

Just watched Shane on Amazon Prime.

I totally forgot in the midst of the 2005 ashes he was caught cheating on his then wife.

God the barmy army gave him some stick.

Australia is practically in a state of mourning.

Best bowler I’ve ever seen - him and McGrath bowling in tandem was a sight to behold m.

 

[Brizzle]

Bowlin’ Shane.

I can imagine. For well over a decade Warne terrorised every batsman.

Taken much too young.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Wow

 

[Bradley]

Just got sent some pictures involving his holiday.

Let's just say he went out in a high.

The autopsy says differently. I'd think something like that would have been picked up during one of his medicals, unless it was something else that was recent that has the appearance of being congenital, wonder what that could be, beats me.

Shane Warne: Australian cricket legend died from natural causes - police


Australian cricket legend Shane Warne's death in Thailand on Friday was from natural causes, police have confirmed. A senior Thai police official said the post mortem exam showed no signs of foul play in the 52-year-old's death.

He was found unresponsive at the Thai villa where he was staying with friends. Attempts to revive him in hospital were unsuccessful. The post mortem exam showed Warne died of a "congenital disease", Songyot Chayaninporamet, deputy director of Samui Hospital, told a news conference, Reuters news agency reported. "There is no Covid-19 infection and no sign of assault or murder." Thailand's deputy police spokesman Krissana Pattanacharoen said in a statement: "Investigators received an autopsy report today in which a forensic doctor concludes the death was due to natural causes."

In the pictures (I suppose they may not have been from his recent holiday). One lady was lying beside him while another was giving him mouth to cock resuscitation.

I was probably a little too vague with my intial post.

 

[dantes]

Perhaps the subsequent shock of seeing that it wasn't in fact a lady is what did him in.

 

[Athens]

I'm not sure if Shane Warne would be the type to get shocked by that in a drink and drug infused party in Thailand.

Rip, makes you think.

 

[Holle]

You took your time obviously.

You took your time obviously.

In fairness, he did need time to think.
