Just seen this. Properly shocked.
The greatest spin bowler of all time, no question.

I first saw him destroy our batting order at Trent Bridge in 93 and then 9 years later at the Gabba.

RIP Warney from a Pommie b*stard!

Just hours after Rod Marsh died too. Two cricket legends dying on the same day.

Legend is used often but in this case totally justified.. was so good to watch even tho it was often destroying England batting lineups. Always came across as a genuine good fella too.. just finished his autobiography.. RIP Shane

Absolutely gutted, what’s the term? “GOAT”?

If it’s greatest of all time then in terms of spin bowling I think that’s fitting, one of the best competitors to ever bowl a ball.

Total shock.  So sorry to hear this. I gather he has young kids too.

Another piece of terrible news in a week of truly terrible news.

An incredible spin bowler - his figures speak for themselves - but his cricket intelligence was off the scale.

Loved listening to him when he was on commentary duty. He had so many ideas when it came to field placings, when to bowl certain bowlers, when to declare, when to attack, when to defend, etc.

I was very shocked when I heard this from a work colleague earlier on.

An incredible spin bowler, a likeable guy, I used to like his commentary and punditry, only saw him on TV a few weeks ago.

RIP Warney
