    Only found out on this forum. Two great Aussie cricketers gone within about 24 hrs. of each other. Neither of them any age, especially Shane Warne. RIP.

    The ironic thing LB was that he only tweeted a couple hours before his own demise stating how sad he was that Marsh had passed

    Greatest bowler.

    Greatest first ball of an Ashes career ever bowled.

    Forget Muralitheran's figures, his action was illegal so he shouldn't even feature in lists of "Best Evers".

    Watching Warne give a coaching class indoors on SKY a couple of years ago was amazing, watching him turn the ball a foot on a carpet off one stride told you all you needed to know about just how brilliant this bloke was at his craft.

    What a 29 years the guy lived from that moment against Mike Getting in 1993, pure box office both on and off the pitch and he seemed to enjoy every moment.

    How ironic that Rod Marsh has passed away this week as well, can you imagine Warne bowling and Marshy behind the timbers......talk about "dream team".

    Thats their greatest ever bowler and their greatest ever wicketkeeper both gone in days.

    The iconic moment Warne bowled out Gatting was made even more iconic by Dickie Bird being the umpire and Richie Benaud being on commentary...........wow.....this guy had one hell of a script writer. To have the best bowler of all time being officiated by the best umpire of all time and commentated on by the best commentator of all time in ANY sport!!

    I will truly miss Warne on commentary, what a bloke, what a life.


    That moment.....
