Shane Warne RIP

Shit, that's terrible news. He sure was was box office - drink, sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, bribery scandals and weight problems but his bowling shone through it all. He could do anything with the ball - the sheer disbelief on Gatting's face in the clip above sums it up.

A huge force in Aussie cricket and, quite rightly, a national god and a real ocker bloke. Glad I got to see the Amazon documentary while not being in mourning.

Good luck Warney


Edit - Sorry, that's the Richard Strauss ball above from 2005. Here's the Gatting ball:

I remember watching them dismantle England in one test. Gilly behind the stumps giving it the whole 'awww that's it Warney' right into Atherton's ear. And the smirk on Warne. Far more effective sledging than half the crap.
 
Jesus, that kinda shocked me. I was having a Friday afternoon beer with an Aussie bloke. He finished up, left the bar and came back a minute later. D'ya follow cricket he says.... Yeah, why, and he shows me his phone. 52, fuck. Loved his play and his attitude.
