A great Aussie sportsman. RIP mate. He pushed the edge of the envelope in every area of his short life. He was truly a magician with the cricket ball.

What a shock, especially as it happened on that island.

Love you Warney from your favourite Pom fan, I don't care what you did or when you did it, you are a legend my friend and always will be.

[ThailandRyan]

Much like Babe Ruth, played hard and partied harder from the stories told....

[Aussieroaming]

RIP Warnie, you might have lived for 52 years but you packed twice the living into that time.

[Expat68]

RIP. World class. On some occasions Shane was totally unplayable. Taken far too early

[brianthainess]

Was he still taking drugs coz he did get suspended for 12 months before and took money from a book maker. Sounds like not quite the upstanding citizen as made out to be. Legend or not.

"fine upstanding citizen" never seen that coupled in a sentence with 'Warnie's name in it. The guy was a unmitigated party man and I doubt he ever pretended other wise. Ease up on the sanctimonious comments gents and enjoy a little levity, even if only vicariously

Shocked to hear this. 
Lived a large life did Warnie, taken far too early. 

Covid last year, will be an interesting autopsy. 
RIP Shane.

IMO Best test cricket bowler that has ever played the game....simply a magician with the ball in hand.

 

Was not really a fan of his commentary, and his lifestyle appeared to be one of a movie star....but that was Warnie, he was a lad.

 

Friend of mine toured with him in India...room was stacked with cigarettes, tins of baked beans & cheezels

 

Tragic he has left us at 52...just tragic....RIP SKW

[trainman34014]

'George Best' of his Sport.     They were both Genius's on the Pitch and they both knew their Lifestyle would lead to early demise; ie, they both knew exactly what they were doing !

 

RIP Shane; that first ball in Test Cricket ensured your name would live forever.

[SAFETY FIRST]

I reckon the Pom's will miss Warnie as much as the Aussies.

 

Bloody legend

Yes. He died on Koh(ke) Samui.

[kickstart]

The BBC news said medics could not revive him ,if he had a heart attack in our country his chances of survival  might have been a bit higher .

He will always be remembered for "That Ball ",the batsman Mike Gating  has been interviewed by at least two radio stations this morning .

His off field antics,made the tabloid press .......often, someone left a can of beer ,pack of cigarettes  ,and a meat pie ,at his stature outside the MCG .

RIP mate.

[hioctane]

I hope he passed with a smile on his face! RIP
