Am I wrong in thinking Tubby Taylor has taken Warnies job?..

Warnie over the Australian summer didn't even look sick and he was doing quite a few youtube interviews, one only 2 weeks before his death.. shows how short life can be.

Credit to Lord's with their tribute to Warnie last night along with the players and the Sky commentators, it was really well done and quite moving..

A fitting tribute to a great of the game at the greatest cricket ground in the world, it just showed how respected Warnie is in England as well as here.

It's still hard to believe he is gone, he was just his usual larger than life self right up until the very end, such a shock to hear the news he had died.

1-year tomorrow the great man passed away, still hard to believe

 

[Woody15]

Still tough to swallow.

Crazy reading that first page of this thread. Pretty much summed up the shock and feeling at the time.

I remember being woke. Up at night in hospital by the nurse fora check and saw my phone with messages from various apps .most of east coast australia would have been asleep .I had to make sure I was reading correctly . The nurse did not believe me until I showed a truthful website big footy

One of the few celebrity deaths which genuinely shocked me, just seemed like he'd live forever, cricket so much less without him, but the game is greater for him and what he achieved and how he spread the word of our great game.

Put leg spin bowling on the map again.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

cricket so much less without him,

It's left a permanent void for me.

It'll always feel one person short now.

A year already..I still remember finding out and the 5-6 hours that followed so well.

My Mrs come running in waking me up at 3am to tell me. Time flies.

Warne and Steve Irwin are the two that really stuck with me. Michael Jackson to a lesser extent but you always thought he could die young.

2022 was a shocking year for me personally.

Warne
Rod Marsh
Pele
Jack Newton
Bob Shearer
And 2 years on from Kobes passing

[Cursed Cat]

I'm not a particularly sentimental person but it still gives me pause to think that Shane Warne is not still with us while I'm still lucky enough to be walking around. Lived a massive life and left a genuine legacy.

 

[CURVE]

Before Warne I'd never seen a spin bowler turn the ball as much as he did, now fingers spinners are turning the ball 20+ degrees eight overs into the first day's play. He changed the game, I used to think for the better, but after the recent tests in India I'm not entirely sure.

Nasser: ''Specsavers actually tweeted him (Jack Leach) saying glasses for life''.

Warnie: ''We might have to hit him up for some glasses, Nass...… rather than the £2.50 you spend on yours''.

Dean Jones in 2020; Ashley Mallett in 2021 and those named above...

Been a shocker of a couple of years......

Did anyone watch remembering shane warne on Foxtel the Allan Border interview? has AB got parkinson's disease? he looked like M J Fox could not keep his head still

It's just come out that AB has been battling Parkinson's for the last 7 years so that probably explains that.
