Glad I didn't take up cricket & took up archery instead.

Bloody sad day after losing Rod Marsh a day or so ago
Covid, Floods, Wars with innocent people dying!
What next!
Hopefully peace?

Warnes untimely passing reminds me of that ball he bowled to Mike Gatting. The look on Gattings face was priceless!
R.I.P. Warney you were one of the greats incricket.

Who could forget it Magnarc. It was the first ball that Shane Warne bowled in his first Ashes Test that spun from well outside leg stump and hit the top of off stump.
He was so good he was named as one of the five world cricketers of the century with Bradman, Hutton, Sobers and Richards. I think that says it all.

He was a character :) and an outstanding player.
He died young but lived well and at least he wasn't subject to the slow decline of old age which afflicts so many.

Sad news, fantastic cricketer.
Another Aussie Bogan gone.
The behaviour that players like Shane Warne & England's Ian Botham got up to in the past would be frowned upon these days as inappropriate.
Times change & what our generation once celebrated as lovable larrikin behaviour is dead & buried forever.

Not dead but, like that parrot, it's just resting :)
Shane Warne dies at 52.
