NO TROLLS R.I.P Shane Warne

[Thrawn]

RIP Warnie, too soon

 

[NetworkNerd]

Played in the U19's I think. Shocking news at his age

One game of reserves too so trained with Lockett/Frawley etc. Saw it in the doco

Terrible news to wake up to. When I got up first thing I saw was notification of a tweet from Shane about Rod Marsh's death, which I thought was a nice tweet. Next thing i saw was a tweet about Shane's death- my first thought it was some sort of mix-up, but no sadly.

I was actually just thinking a couple of days ago if Shane might be the most famous or recognisable Australian within Australia- maybe showing my sports bubble existence, but he is certainly up there.

Saw him walking through the stands at the Adelaide test this summer, seemed to be in a bit of a rush to get to his commentary spot, but still stopped for everyone who wanted a photo with him and was really friendly with them.

Icon - RIP Warnie.

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Geez not Warnie.
If you grew up in the 90's-00's and went to the cricket, the chants of Warnie, Warnie, Warnie rang thru the crowd.

A true sporting genius.
An Aussie sporting legend.
The Goat of leg spin bowling.

RIP Warnie.

Somebody clear his phone before his partner gets it.

You’re hilarious…..
Disrespectful w*****

 

[captain blood 17]

I can’t believe i have woken up to this news. RIP Warnie. An absolute superstar and icon of cricket.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Speechless.

RIP to the greatest I ever saw.

Can't say he didn't live

Too true, Shane Warne was the perfect example of a person who lived the mantra 'Carpe diem' (seize the day).

Only the truly elite change the parameters of their profession and in Warne's case the very fabric of the game itself. Shane Warne was an artist within his profession who inspired the cricketing public to admire the art that is leg spin bowling. Whilst a generation has tried to emulate Warne's art form of leg spin bowling, to date no one has come close to replicating his brilliance.

A flawed genius yes, it only added to the intrigue of his unique ability and personality. What impact one leaves on this world will be measured by those that speak about us. Whilst the first emotion towards Warne 'moving on' is one of shock, the overwhelming feeling of those that have offered their condolences is that of a heartfelt loss.
From his cricketing peers, his friends outside of his sporting circle and to those that have had the ability to meet him it appears that Warne had the ability to forge close bonds and friendships to many for which he'll be sorely missed.

One of the few occasions where the superlatives are actually appropriate.

Legend, all time great, GOAT

Had a hole in one at Augusta, Warnie lived more than any of us would hope to in our lives.

 

[JimmyBC]

Gutted. He was was a total one-off & always himself.

The battles with Brian Lara stick out for me thinking back, they both had their moments over each other but it was always great to watch.

 

[Drought Break]

Saw the news on a friends phone and thought he had been hacked. Unfortunately not. Rest in Peace legend, you brought so much enjoyment to all cricket fans world wide.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Is very hard to believe. I guess he’s lived pretty fast and hasn’t had an amazing diet but 52 is extremely young. Very sad.

 

[Wosh]

Can’t believe I had to clean this thread up already…what is wrong with some people.
No one knows the details yet so keep your speculation to yourselves.

RIP Warnie, way too young to die

 

[Nice Swan Brother]

Is very hard to believe. I guess he’s lived pretty fast and hasn’t had an amazing diet but 52 is extremely young. Very sad.

I’d say Warnie had been fitter than the average Aussie for most of his life

 

[Kanga Commando]

Heartbroken when i read the news.
Watched some highlights on YT to cheer me up.

Vale Warnie.

 

[smasha]

Shocked.
Put spin bowling on the map,genius cricketer.
RIP Shane Warne.

 

[HairyO]

Woke up expecting to read stories about Marsh, who was truly a legend of the game. But Warne was probably the GOAT bowler and made spin a thing kids wanted to do, rather than simply be the fastest possible bowler.

So young. Have to wonder if it was genetic or lifestyle driven. A horribly sad day today.

 

[JackFlash]

Stunned beyond belief.

 

[GROTTO]

Whenever I think of Warne, I always think of this one delivery that defines him as the best.


RIP

Is very hard to believe. I guess he’s lived pretty fast and hasn’t had an amazing diet but 52 is extremely young. Very sad.

plus he smoked, and recovered from severe COVID 19 in 2021.

 

[johnnyboi]

Damn. RIP to the GOAT.

I wonder if catching covid had anything to do with it

 

[deck]

Opened up the news and took me a good minute to comprehend the headline I was reading.

RIP

RIP Shane let’s have another bottle sometime
