Great Southern Stand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) will be renamed after the SK Warne Stand as soon as possible, Victorian Sports Minister Martin Pakula announced on Saturday. Australian cricket, along with the entire cricketing world, is in a state of shock at the loss of Shane Warne, a true cricketing genius, who died aged 52. The legendary spinner passed away after a suspected heart attack.
May be because his bowling was actually art. Ask Mike Gatting, the 'solid' English batsman and former captain, whom he bowled with his first ball on English soil at Old Trafford in 1993, with what is now famously called, 'The Ball Of The Century' as it pitched outside leg-stump and took out the off bail.
Cricketers past and present around the world from Sachin Tendulkar to Brian Lara and Ben Stokes paid shocked tribute on Friday to Australian spin maestro Shane Warne who died of a suspected heart attack at 52.
Emotional tributes have poured in for Shane Warne who has sadly died aged 52 following a suspected heart attack.
Indian cricket great Sachin Tendulkar paid an emotional tribute to his long-time rival and friend Shane Warne after the latter died in a suspected heart attack on Friday. Warne was 52 years of age at the time of his death and was in Thailand when he breathed his last. "Shocked, stunned & miserable...," wrote Tendulkar in a tweet shortly after the news of Warne's death broke. "Will miss you Warnie. There was never a dull moment with you around, on or off the field. Will always treasure our on field duels & off field banter. You always had a special place for India & Indians had a special place for you. Gone too young!" added Tendulkar.
India batter Virat Kohli on Friday achieved yet another milestone after he walked out to bat on Day 1 of the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. Playing in his 100th Test, Virat also completed 8,000 runs in the longest format of the game. He is only the sixth India batter to have scored 8,000 or more runs in Test cricket, joining an elite list comprising greats like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sunil Gavaskar, Virender Sehwag and VVS Laxman.
