Shane Warne RIP

Fox Cricket reporting Shane Warne has died from a suspected heart attack aged just 52. RIP

That’s terrible news, just twelve hours ago he was tweeting his sympathy to Rodney Marsh’s’ family. Had he been in poor health or is this out of the blue?

Greatest bowler I ever saw. He could take wickets when NOBODY else could and always seemed to get the vital wickets. Great cricket brain as well, was able to deal with any situation that arose in a cricket match. Always had a plan to get a batsman out. He is a cricket immortal! RIP

Jesus, I absolutely loved Shane Warne. That's actually shocked me a bit.

Jesus Christ just seen the news from a BBC notification. Can't believe it, best spin bowler I've even seen imo. RIP Shane.

I don't think I've ever before seen the notification of a death and exclaimed "Jesus" out loud like I just have at work. It's a huge shock and terribly sad news. He was a legend, and not just in cricket.

Safe to say that Shane's ball to Gatting was the reason why I became interested in Cricket and why it eventually became my favourite sport. Simply the greatest leg spin bowler of all-time and a massive personality within the sport, always good humoured and always professional and appreciative of the talent of other players, regardless of their nationality.

S.K. Warne, legend. R.I.P.

shocking news. and the death of rod marsh also announced today. RIP to both, and thoughts with family and friends

I am devastated. He was always my favourite. It's like we all knew him. He was Warney to all. A great cricketer and a great bloke.

He is such a loss to the game. He was always looking to innovate the game and improve it.

Yeah think you're right.

Not great quality, but this is it I think.

What a player.

Ireland's own Duckworth Lewis Method summed up his magic in their song Jiggery-pokery. (See above which I somehow have managed to post twice and can't work out how to delete it!)

The look of pure befuddlement from Gatting is what got me every time. A combination of how..... and who ?

Just total shock hearing of his untimely passing this afternoon. Such an amazing player and the reason I got into cricket at all. I'd throw tennis balls and plastic golf practice balls up and down the hall or from one end of the sitting room to the other while watching the ashes in the summer time trying to spin the ball, all because of Warney. Then in later years, I used to use the name Shane Warne when playing the computer game Counter Strike and anytime I threw a nice grenade, I'd get my mates to say "Nice Bowling Warney!" Great memories because of a great player!

Sky just had the Warne in a million Interview/documentary on. He was so open about everything (and I tend to believe him about his drug ban) and I think he probably really was what you see is what you get, I know he was friends with Kevin Pieterson but boy did talent and fame affect those two in very different ways. No time at all for KP, but I could easily imagine going for a pint with Warne. I'm surprised just how sad I am about him dying.

Rip shane shocked. Way to early.
