Thanks bro! Appreciate you posting the link. Now we can better judge.  

Like I said context is important. Gavaskar said Warne lived a king sized life and maybe his heart couldn't take it. His tone was not disrespectful.  He was just replying to question how his persona was. He was asked by Sardesai if he regards  Warne greatest spinner of all time ever and Gavaskar replied very calmly that he regards Murlidharan greatest due to his success against India since Indians were very good players of the spin while Warne had not so success against India. He clearly mention it is his opinion. Besides he praised Warne a lot too.

RIP. His spin variations and control was extraordinary.

I'm shocked that Warne has passed away. He is only 52 . Just stunned. The cricketers of my childhood are dying. Rest in peace Warnie. You are a legend. Thanks for the memories you gave when you toured in 98, 01 and conquered the final frontier in 04.

On a side note, I think the vaccines must have something to do with the recent deaths of cricketers from Aus. How many have died in the past year. Dean Jones, Marsh, and now Warne. Australia is the most vacced country in the world. There is talk of a fourth shot

[Serpico]

Old people and fat people have been dying of heart attacks long before covid vax. One in every four or five natural deaths is heart failure

He could have chosen not to answer the question at all rather than criticising him for his poor India record. Likewise he didn't want to admit Warne could have been a great captain for Australia. Can sense the bitterness in his tone..

RIP.

 

Anyone know how or why he died of a heart attack? Based on actual news or information, and not conspiracy theories? I mean I get the thought behind COVID and vaccines might be causing heart attacks, but it's not proven and as of now still a conspiracy. I assume it's because of his partying lifestyle? Several famous people died young because of this life style.

Shocked beyond words !

 

Can't believe it  !

 

Always found his commentary to be top class and interesting and his analysis of the game was very insightful and intelligent.

 

RIP legend !

[mancalledsting]

Devastated 

[BacktoCricaddict]

R I P.  Extraordinarily talented and seemed to be a nice, genial person. 

 

Typing R I P ... reads like rip ... of which his deliveries had plenty. 

[speed_thrills]

WTF Shane Warne.

 

Very hard to take this.

[dial_100]

This is very shocking. RIP Shane.

[putrevus]

Even when he was getting belted allover the park during VVS 281, he was the first player to clap when Laxman reached 150 and  200. He always fought till last ball to win but I would say he was gracious in defeat too.

 

I still cannot believe it.

Shocked. 

 

Om shanti 

[Jay]

Best spinner of all time. I am shocked. 

 

This is a tragedy. What's the reason? 

 

 

 

 

 

[kepler37b]

I would only say this:

 

He lived every minute and second. Entertained us all. He was flawed, but that only added intrigue. 

 

Good bye champ!!. 

 

 

[putrevus]

RIP

 

I liked his commentary more than Richie's.He always made it very lively in the commentary booth too. I still cannot believe he is gone.

Or a blood clot formed from an asymptomatic/mild covid infection. It can happen.

Did the same with David Hookes death after a bar room brawl

 

Actually Hookes got beaten up, when chased down by a bouncer (security) well outside the bar.

Australia in mourning. Loved and respected.

 

RIP
