    Shane Warne died aged 52 from a suspected heart attack and was found in his Thai villa in Koh Samui after landing in the country on Thursday.
    Medical staff attempted to revive him but were unsuccessful.

    The England Cricket team paying tribute to the player.
    The team, currently in Antigua, paused their play and stood in the middle of the cricket ground to hold a minute's silence for Shane Warne.


    RIP Warnie

    That's two aussie cricket greats gone in 24 hours- Rod Marsh and Shane Warne. RIP. Both were noted for 'high living'- 'bacchus' Marsh downed 44 cans of beer on a Qantas flight to England, and warneys exploits sold many a British tabloid.

    Bacchus (originally WA) adopted Adelaide as his home town actually- after his heart attack he was sent back home there, and passed away with family. Can't quite work out where warney was living of recent- Oz, or UK? I think he was ingrained in the popular culture of both countries.

    Warny reckoned he never did any drugs, given he admits to all other transgressions I believe him.

    ^ I thought he served a ban from international cricket for failing a drug test.

    A diuretic tablet his Mom gave him for weight loss.

    Diuretics are not performance enhancing drugs, but because they can be used to mask the use of such are also verboten.

    I didn't believe the old "My mum gave me" for a nano second, Willy.

    Great Cricketer though. Had huge respect for him as a player. Hated his fucking guts when he was playing...because he was so good.

    Had massive respect when he started shagging Liz Hurley.

    As the condolence messages pour in, is there anyone of note or fame around the world he wasn't friends with?

    Ooooh, you see, 12 hour flight, that's why I'm almost religious about the stretching and the doing a bit of walking around.

    That and getting diagnosed with it once and having a week of blood thinning injections...

    ^He'd have been in 1st Class so moving around wouldn't be a problem, plus he's done more than enough air-miles over the years to be well aware of things like DVT you'd think. I wonder if his toxicology or autopsy report will be made public? There's always the chance he simply dropped dead from a heart-attack of course, as will countless people around the world today who are younger/fitter than Warne was!

    For most sportsmen or women I'd agree. For Warnie, he really is/was that naive. He was always a bit chubby, so it makes complete sense. Except when he was dating Liz Hurley, she put him on a mean diet and he looked like skeletor for awhile.

    Loved Warnie. He lived in my old stomping ground in Melbourne. His dick did get him into a bit of trouble but there's a lot of men that could say the same. Great character and the best spin bowler I've ever seen, bearing in mind he played on a lot of wickets not condusive to spin.
    RIP Warney, Aussie legend and Icon. Bay 13 will miss you. You've got a bloody good 'keeper with you.

    The MCG is going to rename the Great Southern Stand as the S.K. Warne Stand after him.

    fuck.
    I grew up in WA watching marshy as kid with my old man...and spent many hours watching warney's magic, winning the unwinnable matches, never giving in. And they both liked a drink and a smoke and a muck around - and they owned it.
    Unbelievable.
    52 years old - too young (scares me)!

    I was just at the shop and some arsehole at the deli counter was mouthing off "he always was a fat bastard and smoked too much...and he was in thailand which is full of dodgy stuff" - what a [at][at][at][at]. TDers don't be that person!

    I remember seeing him play - never thought much of spinners other than they're there to increase the run-rate but Warney was special. Being relatively new to cricket, had to play at school, there were quite a few amazing players in that era - Chappell, Border, Lillee, Pascoe, Thommo, Marsh, Big Merv, Mocca . . . and Warney later on with other amazing players.

    I don't actually know how that is humanly possible unless it's piss weak.

    Can’t believe nobody’s mentioned his tireless work for charidee, along with his brother.
