rbkk Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/shane-warne-dies-of-suspected-heart-attack-aged-52/ar-AAUBSQ4?li=BBoPWjQ Sad news indeed and still so young. Nothing being reported yet in the BangkokPost. I guess the news needs to be "approved" first before the general public finds out.

Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted March 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2022 I'm stunned by this. Definitely the greatest spin bowler of all time. And that is coming from a Pom who's cricket team he bamboozled on many occasions. R.I.P Shane, gone too soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip RIP Shane, sounded like a good bloke, and a great cricketer. 52, not that rare. My brother in law dropped dead of a heat attack at 50.

SheikYabodyline Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Sadly, Warne was both a smoker and a drinker, probably the two most prominent indicators for heart attack risk. Edited March 4, 2022 by SheikYabodyline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Rex Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) So sad to hear of his passing. Love him or hate him - he was a giant of the game of cricket - a bowling craftsman who made spin bowling cool! I still remember his first Ashes delivery - the Gatting ball in 93. 52 - way too young. RIP Warnie Edited March 4, 2022 by G Rex Wrong link 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Two cricketing legends, Rod Marsh and Shane Warne, passed away within a day of each other. Olympic gold medalist cyclist Dean Woods also dead at just 55yo. Also gone is John Landy, the second man to break 4 minutes in the mile and who pushed Bannister to be the first. He was 91. Bad times for Australian sport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PomPolo Posted March 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2022 Koh Samui should be safe - I hope you were keeping it real. I am English but played cricket my entire life and he was my legend, not just about the Mike Gatting super ball, also about how he mentored teams in the south of England. He was a legend to the sport, had his ups and downs but don't we all? RIP Mr Warne - and apologies for shouting bad at you the Oval that time - but you would have done the same to me! A massive loss to English Cricket as well as Australian cricket. P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 A sudden cardiac arrest does it to you, there must have been prior small episodes that should have signalled out to him that he's got a problem with his heart but being relatively young and fit people tend to ignore, In Israel , there's a mobile heart defibrillators, size of a shoe box, in almost every corner of most neighbourhood just for a situations like this and in my opinion every hotel, shopping centre and all big places where many people are there should keep such machine that can save live in most cases...

As a pom I always loved Shane Warne - I used to shout at him when he was out fielding in the Oval to try and wind him up, and he would just turn around and smile ???? the guy was a legend, he would go back in and take 5 English wickets and then just smile back ???? Also did a lot for English cricket too in the south, he is irreplaceable in cricket. He will be a massive miss to not just Oz and England - to all the cricket world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
