The word “genius” is overused in sport and bestowed upon too many excellent, but not transient athletes. In the case of Shane Warne however, the term is apt because he displayed a once-in-a-lifetime ability as a bowler.
Facing Warne was not only a test of batters’ skill, but of his mental strength and technique. Warne was always at them, whether bowling, or standing in the slip cordon, dispensing “advice” to opposition batters, sometimes using choice words. “Sad to hear the news that Rod Marsh has passed. He was a legend of our great game & an inspiration to so many young boys & girls. Rod cared deeply about cricket & gave so much – especially to Australia & England players. Sending lots & lots of love to Ros & the family,” Warne wrote.
Warne was one of the game’s prominent crowd-pullers, whose craft as well as lifestyle often made headlines. “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,” Tendulkar tweeted.
