Shane Warne dies from heart attack aged 52

[Ed Smith]

I was fortunate enough, on my second shift ever at the mcg I was on break and went into the members behind the bowler's arm and got a prime view to see Warne's 700th wicket. A moment I'll cherish, even more so now.

That's a great memory

So many wonderful memories of Warne! From an Indian perspective, we truly respected him so so much ... And who can forget those days when the Sachin-Warne rivalry dominated headlines across the country! We used to feel so happy that the greatest spinner could not achieve much success in Indian conditions. A fierce competitor and a truly passionate guy! Really sad that his life got cut short too early!

Unfortunately I couldn't see him ever bowl in International Cricket but this is something that could show a glimpse of how much of an impact he made with the ball.

Couldn’t believe it when my cousin told me. Thought it was a hoax, he was relatively young, not the age where you'd be expecting something like this. Still hard to believe.
As far as his cricketing ability goes, there was none better than him, and i doubt there ever will be, among leg-spinners. I wouldn’t mind if the Benaud-Qadir Trophy currently being played was renamed Shane Warne Trophy.

Truly shocking and what a loss to world of cricket. What a personality both on and off the field. Really sad to heard this news

RiP Warnie. Such a devastating spinner on his day. Lived life to his fullest, can't imagine he'd have any regrets left behind. Much strength to his poor family to get through this.

Rod Marsh then Shane Warne in consecutive days. Very sad

Couldn't believe it when I read the headline. Still hasn't registered. Goes to show how fragile life really is. R.I.P Warnie, absolute legend of the game.

RIP Shane Warne. Your contributions towards Cricket will always be remembered.

Truly shocked at this news. I think Dean Jones’ death was also similarly sudden and shocking.

PS besides his playing days, I also truly enjoyed his commentary and passion for the game. I know it’s cliche but he was one of those guys you thought would live to a hundred and still remain young at heart.
