Shane Warne. Legend. An extraordinary innings ended far too soon. Vale. – by Anthony Albanese Source:facebook.com This is such a blow. Just as we’re all mourning the great Rod Marsh, it’s almost impossible to believe we’re talking about the death of Shane Warne. We often talk about game changers – Warnie actually was one. He was a phenomenal sportsman, and so much more. When he had the ball in his hand, he was a magician. He was a flash of blond lightning. He was a larrikin and an artist, and he changed the game he loved in the process. To watch him in action was just one of the purest joys sport had to offer, and a reminder of what is best about sport. It was only fitting that he took his 700th wicket at his beloved MCG on a cold, damp Boxing Day. A generation was inspired to bowl ...

Shane Warne…a legacy hard to parallel – By Trevine Rodrigo in Melbourne Just a couple of weeks ago, I was one of a few million people who enjoyed the theatrics of Shane Warne on Foxtel’s coverage of a T20 game between Australia and Sri Lanka. The legend and undoubted King of leg spin was needling one of his partners in crime, Mark Waugh in the commentary box, siding with the Lankans who were in low ebb after the series had been decided, suggesting he was moving across to the Sri Lanka dressing room.
