BREAKING Australia cricket legend, Shane Warne, dies of ‘suspected heart attack’, aged 52.

[EnterTheVoid]

Australia is in collective mourning.

 

52. Gone too soon. 

[zubinpepsi]

Wow .. that’s shocking..  gone too early.

RIP warnie

Gone to soon. One of the greatest bowlers of the game.

RIP. One of my childhood heros. Pure theatre and drama with the way he had us hooked on the game. Still processing typing this in past tense. 
If it was spin bowling in any team, everyone growing up wanted to bowl leg spin.  I try my arm even now with his action with no success. Amazing impact. Condolences to his family, friend and fans. #legend

Looks like he was on a bender in Thailand. Most definitely drug related

Isn't there death penalty for drugs?

RIP to the greatest bowler I ever saw.  And probably the greatest bowler ever.

He died just few hours after landing in Thailand. Whatever his plan for the vacation was, he didn't have time go through it

RIP. Yup GOAT

I hope BCCI does something to commemorate Warne on IPL 2022. Afterall, he was the first IPL Winning captain.

State Funeral to be held in Melbourne for Warnie.

It was to get fit and lose weight.

just watched gavaskar speaking alongside gideon haigh on india today - oh my god! goes into excruciating detail to say why murali and indian spinners were better than shane. he has every right to think that murali was better, but not now sunny not now

Leg spin is much tougher art to master. Warne averaged better than Muralidaran in india so is he judging by performance of Muralidaran at home on those pitches which assists finger spinner vs warne bowling on australian pitches.

They are just competent to run a sulabh complex with 3 latrines and 1 urinal. You are expecting too much from them.

What about myth of gavaskar's so called great record against west indies.

Why not? So if a person is dead we must call him greatest just for respect of the dead? He does not believe he was the greatest and he was asked in ver exact term whether Warne is the greatest spinner ever. Why should he lie if he has different opinion? He also praised Warne a lot in rest of the discussion.

if he had said something like 'i actually think murali was better...' and left it there that would be absolutely fine by me. it was the next few minutes setting out Warne's failings in minute detail.

One or two guys make propaganda that it could be vaccine related sharing Warne's vaccine encouragement video.
