he did have covid last year bad enough that he was on a ventilator
one of the long term risk of covid infection is a higher risk of heart attacks

absolutly shocked, one of the great legends, one of the few worldwide cricket stars that everyone, no matter their sport, recognised. He will be very sadly missed.
So sad for all his family and the whole of the cricket world.

I am stunned beyond belief. Not Warne, not so soon. One expected this man to be always there. Aus cricket is reeling, two greats gone in the matter of days, both from or as a result of the dreaded heart attack.
RIP Warnie
RIP Rod.
The world reacts.
Warne’s manager, James Erskine, confirmed in a statement to the Herald and The Age that Warne died in Thailand.
“It is with great sadness we advise that Shane Keith Warne passed away of a suspected heart attack in Koh Samui, Thailand today, Friday 4th March,” the statement says.
“Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived. The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.”

This was an absolute shock for me and I extend my deepest condolences to his family. A brilliant spinner that broke the record for most test wickets until it was broken by Muttiah Muralitharan. Shane Warne took 708 wickets in 145 matches. I will never forget the delivery in which he bowled Andrew Strauss around his leg in an Ashes series years ago.

Wow Wow...What a double blow.
First wonderful character Rodney Marsh and now the iconic Leggie that restored the art in cricket, Shane Warne at only 52.
Yes ,it's true, Tomorrow is not promised to anyone and in life there is death.
Still, as lovers of cricket ,the passing of these two giants is very sad.
RIP in Rodney and Shane. Your cricket deeds are for eternity.
Condolences to families of both ,their friends and relatives and to the Cricket community especially in the Land Down Under,
Australia.

Thank you for the wonderful memories

One of those few players that set the bar higher than those before him. The man even bowled a bouncer fairly often. Had a few famous all-time deliveries, such as the one to bowl Chanders leg-stump, after pitching way outside off, and the one to bowl that famous English batsman.
Had a few famous quips as a commie too, such as "where is that Fakkar!", as Fakkar's batting partner was being run out!
An all-round entertainer, who went too far sometimes.
2022-03-04 18:13:13
Marsh and Warne, two great cricketers have departed. The game is poorer for for their loss. May their Souls RIP.

"In conversation with Shane Warne"
Interviewed by Ali Bacher.

Two things I'll always remember about Mr Shane Warne. I can vividly recall the moment he bowled that ball of the century the build up to it and when he landed it and magic from it.
I remember saying to someone he'll become one of the greatest of all times and told by my fellow West Indian to stop talking rubbish and the rest is history.
And the most prominent thing I remember of Warnie is that home series where Brian Lara became a Demi God against Australia, to me it was not Brian Lara feats in that 1998/99 series but the dropping of Shane Warne in that iconic series which I remember most of all. That how I respected him he was more the difference of losing or winning in that series, even more than the Great Brian Lara in my eyes.

a flawed genius
2022-03-04 21:35:04
This is truly sad news for cricket lovers everywhere. First Sonny, then Marsh and now the well loved or hated Shane (depending on your perspective). Whatever you may have felt about him, Shane had a huge impact on test cricket as player and then subsequently as coach and commentator. Sonny, Rod, Shane, thank you for all the memories that have made our lives and our favourite sport so much so much richer. My sympathies to the family of all three as well as to our brotherhood of cricket fans who have suffered serious loss this week.

most, if not all geniuses are flawed, some persons flaws are not as transparent, or their flaws are hidden or downplayed by interested parties

May he Rest In Peace.

I am shocked to hear this. He has to be the greatest spin bowler of all time. I also think he was an excellent commentator….very entertaining.

huge impact on test cricket as playe
In reply to VoopsandOut
He certainly did.
Shane caused me to develop a healthy respect and admiration for leg spin.
Growing up putting bat to ball as a youth , one was usually glad..relieved and relaxed to see
a leg spinner brought into the the attack .
The local leg spinner was usually good for a couple of fours/ sixes, spaced out evenly so that his captain will be encouraged to
keep him in the attack.....but...Shane Warne was a leg spin assassin, take no prisoners, made it look easy.

In reply to powen001
indeed. Its surreal though that one of the players in that epic test is no longer with us. To say its a curveball is a gross understatement. I wonder if he and Waugh ever reconciled before his death
