The news of Shane Warne’s death from a suspected heart attack aged 52 shocked the cricketing world on Friday. Warne, one of the game’s most-loved figures, was found unresponsive in his villa on the Thai island of Koh Samui just hours after posting a touching tribute to his hero Rod Marsh, who also died on Friday aged 74.
Warne, widely regarded as the greatest leg-spinner of all time, has died aged 52, according to a statement issued by his management company on Friday. The statement said he died in Koh Samui, Thailand, of a suspected heart attack. It comes just hours after the death was announced of fellow Australian great Rod Marsh.
Warne, considered as one of the all-time greats of the game who redefined spin bowling, died on Friday of a suspected heart attack in Thailand. He was 52. Warne's management released a brief statement that Warne passed away in Thailand and the reason could be a suspected heart attack. An iconic name in international cricket, Warne, since making his debut in 1992, played 145 Tests for Australia, picking up 708 wickets. In his 194 ODI appearances, Warne had 293 scalps. Here's a look at top 3 greatest Shane Warne moments: The ball of the centuryThe Ball of the Century, also referred to as the Gatting Ball, was one of the biggest highlights of Shane Warne's international career. The Australian spin legend produced the delivery against England batter Mike Gatting on 4 June 1993 on the second day of the first Test of the 1993 Ashes series, at Old Trafford in Manchester. It was Warne's first ball against England, in his first Ashes Test. It became recognised as being of considerable significance in not just the context of the match or series, but in cricket in general in that it signalled the revival of leg spin bowling.
Shane Warne's 'Ball of the Century' will go down as the greatest delivery in cricket history and summed up his incredible ability with a cricket ball.
Pant is an anomaly in Indian cricket. He changes the course of a game faster than the opinions about him. Friday was just another day of now-usual Pant-mania as he walked in at 170/3 40 minutes before tea, took on a rather erratic but effective Sri Lankan attack and left the field half an hour before stumps after ravaging the tourists with a 97-ball 96 on the opening day of the two-Test series. As it happened | ScorecardThe 172 minutes of exhilarating batting, which was ended by Suranga Lakmal breaching his defence with the second new ball, had put India in a position of dominance with 357/6 on the board at stumps. The carnage inflicted by Pant aside, Lankan captain Dimuth Karunaratne may be ruing playing three seamers and one specialist spinner. He has laid the foundation for Ravindra Jadeja (batting on 45) and Ashwin (unbeaten on 10) to bat Sri Lanka out of the game on Saturday morning.
