Warne, the larger than life leg-spinner who bamboozled batsmen, enthralled fans, and constantly provided fodder to tabloids, stunned the world one last time on Friday as he passed away, aged just 52. Warne, who ended his international career in 2007 with 708 Test wickets, more than anyone else except Muttiah Muralitharan (800) died from a suspected heart attack in Koh Samui, Thailand, his family confirmed in a statement. He also had 293 wickets from 194 one-dayers, won the man-of-the-match award when Australia beat Pakistan in the 1999 World Cup final, and was declared one of the five greatest cricketers of the 20th century by Wisden.
