Arguably the greatest bowler not just spin.Originally Posted by The Bloop
The Mike Gatting miracle ball was something else.
RIP.
I think he may have been someone who lived life to the full, but Jeez, you don’t expect to hear things like that - I was only watching him being interviewed by Nasser Hussain and Robert Key last week.
He showed his brilliance and class in a great, but ageing, Aussie team in 2005 when, if anything, he raised his game as he realised this was finally an England side that could give them a real run for their money.
If you’re talking about true greats of the game, he’s up there with Bradman, Sobers etc - as Major says, arguably the best bowler ever, definitely the best spinner ever in my book.
RIP
very sad news. a cricketing legend for sure, RIP
Blimey.
Rod Marsh was a shock but he was in h is mid seventies ( mind you,|I am only 7 years younger!)
But 52 is no age
Hard to argue with really.
The film Shane on Amazon Prime is well worth a watch. His influence on the IPL at the start, aswell the build up to him achieving his 700th test wicket were particularly good.
Shocking news. The greatest spin bowler to ever play the game
He didn't look that healthy with all that dieting and botox.
RIP Aussie
That really is shocking news.
One of the, if not the, best spin bowler ever.
RIP Shane.
Edit:
Definitely THE best spin bowler the game has seen!
Great spinner.
Very good thinker of the game aswell. He had clear, simple opinions on the game that made sense. No over tactical nonsense, or silly phrases. Just a good clear understanding of the way to win games of cricket
definitely greatest leg spinner
Murali has to be in with a shout of greatest spijnet
Horrible news.
RIP
RIP Warnie.
I met him in a nightclub in Brum once. His team-mates were (politely) trying to stop randoms like me bothering him, but he pushed them aside and was happy to chat. Top cricketer, and I enjoyed his commentary too.
It's fair to say he packed a fair bit into his life.

Dreadful news one the greatest crickters of all time .
RIP to another cricketing legend, please God there’s not an imminent hat trick.
Terrible. Really shocked by this. Bumped into Warne and a few of the Australian cricket team in the mid 90s in a bar in Sydney. Doesnt seem that long ago.
RIP an all time great of the game.
A great loss indeed - and a very forthright character, sadly missed.....maybe Jim Laker runs him close??
Shocking News!!
His eldest daughter's partner is a close family friend of mine and he follows Cardiff City.
R.I.P Shane.
Please send the family heartfelt appreciation of the man achievements and approach to life .
Shocking, Rip Shane
In terms of sheer number of test wickets yes agreed but he did have a dodgy bowling action and more importantly ignored my kids and didn’t give them an autograph when playing for Glos v Glammy on a wet Friday night at Sophia Gardens. So for me it’s Warney all the way.
I met him at Glamorgan whilst he was playing for Hampshire, a truly humble guy and a gentleman and one of the greatest ever cricketers who made spin bowling fashionable.
R.I.P
