RIP SHANE WARNE

Haha, yes I remember. He'd have to be slow to be slower than Arjuna Ranatunga. I think Ian Healy once said to him, when he asked for a runner, "you can't have a runner just because you're fat".

He actually beat Lehman, so that doesn’t say much about Lehman.
 
It's says a bit about our love for him that there hasn't been Jokes about his death going the round on social media.
In found out about Michael Jackson's death via jokes.
 
He could bowl a good spinning cricket ball, but not fussed otherwise as to his death on the back of a life of fast living.

Apart from seeing this thread haven't given it a second thought in a week that another 270 Aussies died with covid, twenty or so lives lost and thousands more homeless from floods and millions have left their homes under threat of bombings.

I don't begrudge others for whom cricket fills a large part of their lives feeling as they do, it just doesn't register much with me.

Was just reading his Twitter. A few days ago he posted that he was going on a health kick. So maybe he didn’t feel quite right.

Alot of men after the age of 40 have to be careful of going on a health kick alot of men die of heart attacks exercising I was watching a heart specialist talk about this on you tube a few years ago and he was saying you have alot of toxins in your body built up and when you start a health kick to aggressively
It's released to fast into your blood which in turn makes your blood thicker and harder to move around the body

He recommended starting with healthy eating for a month then slowly building up the exercise not to much latic aicd release in a short space of time and toxicity for the kidneys to filter

Steve Folkes died at a similar age, I think while exercising.

I assumed it was because he took a catch of a batsman on 99 and he knew the crowd would be deflated. It was also the last wicket of the innings on the final ball of the day. Lots of factors. Funny fact about Mark Richardson, he was considered the slowest man in world cricket and once competed against Darren Lehman in a 100m sprint.

And they wore those Cathy Freeman style running suits
 
It was great to hear that no drugs were found in his system.
Greg Chappell came out and said in an interview that Shane didn't do drugs, he smoked which may have led to his last innings. He got himself out, heaps have tried and failed.
Black arm bands worn all around the world, the wide world cricket fraternity is grieving.
 
Could have had something to do with the health kick he was on, could have just been bad luck. So many variables.

Think he was a heavy smoker actually. Mate in Tassie saw him during the ashes and he had a few in a couple of minutes he was near my mate
 
I think Warnie should've been treated with respect, especially in his passing.

The matter is closed because Geo reminded everyone of the significance of the thread and paying respects... the user could've apologised for their post or removed it but instead waffled on blaming others for a perceived piled on when simple fact, it was an incredibly insensitive comment.... about a man who is hugely respected by many.

A comment days later which replies in sheer outrage may he inappropriate but is what one could expect.... more people in coming days will see this thread and too, be outraged and disgusted with that post.

But hey, it's closed and resolved now... no apology, no remorse, just continued justification and blaming others for taking the comment, what, so serious.

Yessir.... I get it.
You're doing the right thing by standing up for some one you perceive as being "abused".

I hope you too, can see the other side, where some are standing up for a man, who in his passing, is having his name tarnished with nonsense speculations.


The matter is closed as you said, but the foolery will not be forgotten.
 
I believe this could have been handled more discreetly with a PM to GNR with advice such as

"GNR, I believe you could have been more sensitive in your post considering who Warne is, that he is dead and there has been no autopsy on his body".

Post #133 in the mental health thread,

Some people refuse to admit there's a problem.

They'll likely see it as a personal attack...


This is how it played out both in thread and in private message so yeah, fair advice but in certain circumstances where one cannot admit their fault nor show signs of humility, humanity even.... the words are wasted.


Rest in Peace, Warnie.
