Shane Warne brought spin as attacking commodity to cricketing world: R Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin has condoled the demise of Shane Warne, saying the Australian brought spin as an attacking commodity to this cricketing world. Warne passed away on Friday aged 52 due to a suspected heart attack. "I see Warne as a flag-bearer for carrying the spin aspect of bowling on the front in the world cricketing map.

Farewell to Rod Marsh - the archetypal Aussie who left a lasting legacy in English cricket
Rod Marsh, who has died in hospital in Adelaide aged 74 following a heart attack last week, did not simply represent Australia in cricket but also in the public imagination.
