Shane Warne

[Bjornebye]

Gone. Fuck sake 

[Remmie]

Mad that it was first reported about 9 hours ago but still not on the BBC. 

 

Incredible spin bowler, changed the game. Also very knowledgeable about tactics, technique and had great skill. 

 

It seems off the field he was a bit of a womaniser, but I'd rather focus on his cricket. What a player, seem to remember him being handy with the bat sometimes and being a stubborn fucker to get. 

[Furmedge]

Superb player and quality commentator. Grim news.

 

On a positive note, TK has just gone up a place in the spin bowl rankings.

[Gnasher]

Bloody hell only 52, day after another Aussie legend Rod Marsh.

[an tha]

What a fucking cricketer...always came across as a really likeable fella as well.

 

I know its obvious but someone will post it eventually so...

 

 RIP

[Carvalho Diablo]

Shocking news.

[Captain Turdseye]

Sad news, that. I think maybe one page of reflection is in order, before we move on to posting pictures of Liz Hurley. 

[Brownie]

Absolutely gutting. Best cricketer I’ve ever seen and seemed like good company (despite the flaws).

[lifetime fan]

Incredible bowler and would have made an excellent test Captain if he didn’t have so much baggage.

His last tweet is saying RIP to Rod Marsh,  life is so unpredictable 

[lifetime fan]

Learnt how to drink with cider at Knowle Cricket Club in Bristol too. 

[lifetime fan]

2 absolute legends and of the game gone so quickly. 
 

For all his faults he leaves behind a family with relatively young kids. Terribly sad news. 

[Pete]

Does that mean Liz is available? 

Rest in Peace Warnie. 4 years older than me. Makes you think how fleeting life is. 

[YorkshireRed]

He’d always be in my all time cricket XI. Loved him as a cricketer, enjoyed him as a commentator and was jealous of him for banging Liz Hurley. 
 

RIP

[mgw100]

I'm genuinely sad, which is rare for me in terms of a celebrity death.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Really sad news. RIP mate.

[Baltar]

Shocking. What a cricketer. What absolute shitty news to start the weekend with.

I'd have one if I saw this in the scud (NSFW)

[Vincent Vega]

A cricketing genius, one of the all time greats and certainly the best spin bowler I’ve ever seen (sorry Murali, I just can’t get past that iffy delivery action).

 

I couldn’t stand him when I was young as he was England’s worst nightmare along with McGrath. But over time I grew to just appreciate his genius. That 2005 Ashes series was the most gripped I’ve ever been by the sport.

 

I mostly enjoyed his commentary and punditry on Sky even if he was biased as fuck when it came to his beloved Aussies. It was obvious the other Sky commentary lads all thought the world of him. I loved the master class stuff he did with Nasser and Ian Ward, his love for the game really shone through.

 

I will miss him as one of the sounds of our summer.

[dockers_strike]

Not into cricket but 52 is no age and especially for a sportsman. RIP.

100 percent bang on post. RIP Warney.

I could respect him but as you say hated him until the end of the 05 ashes series.
 

I still think England should have offered the Aussies the chance for McGrath and Warne to open the batting the final afternoon of that series  and give them a guard of honour. 

[Anubis]

Only 52. But at least he shagged Liz Hurley so a life well lived.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Police are looking for this man in connection with Mr Warne's untimely passing.

 

[Haan'sThunderbolt]

"Bowling Shane......"

 

A decade and a half of feasting on English teams in Ashes tests...they couldn't deal with him at all.

I'm sure he played for Hampshire v Lancs in 2000 at Aigburth - as it was the first time I'd seen him bowl in the flesh....

 

Genius is an overused word, but if it was good enough for Richie, then it will do for me.
