Benroon Posted March 5, 2022 #173391 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Shocking news at that age though his weight was always all over the place - greatest spin bowler the game has ever known. Virtually unplayable at his peak. Sad news 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdvocatusDiaboli Posted March 5, 2022 #173428 Share Posted March 5, 2022 And Thai Police quick to state …. https://www.news.com.au/sport/cricket/inside-the-luxury-koh-samui-island-villa-where-shane-warne-was-found-dead/news-story/a78dd9b46f0ad3d25060a7f8d66a9acd “From what we could observe, there was no wound, no sign of struggle.” “The room was in normal condition. Everything looked normal, as if the victim was just sleeping in the room, kept cool and comfortable with the airconditioning on.” Chatchawin Nakmusik of the Bo Put police told Reuters that Warne’s friends would be questioned by police. He said there was no signs of foul play. Were people thinking there was foul play in Thailand? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2010 Posted March 5, 2022 #173472 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Had the privilege of watching Warne and McGrath in their pomp, destroying England in Perth. Never been so relaxed about seeing England demolished but watching pure class is an all too rare experience. Class cricketer, class bloke. RIP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Your comment may make you feel better, but the reality is different than what you imagine. The deceased was described as a smoker, heavy drinker, and in poor physical shape. He had a history of drug abuse and partying hard. This is the test book portrait of the type of person who drops dead early. He had a good time while he lived, but it came with a cost. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was a generalisation, not a comment on SW and the reason for his early death. He is one example; Churchill. another over weight heavy drinker and smoker and a man who hated to walk anywhere, let alone exercise, lived into his 90s and is a contrary example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and generally speaking, the more unhealthy your lifestyle, the earlier you go. There are always exceptions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OOber Posted March 5, 2022 #173712 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I asked friends around the world and no one outside Australia or England has ever heard of this guy.

I think a similar investigation would have been conducted by any other countries since it involves a well known person and the death happens at a relatively younger age than normal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to assume where you are from, however outside of English football, cricket has the greatest global reach. Warne has been adjudged in the top 5 ever to play the game. The equivalent of a Diego Maradonna in his sport. This, along with his ongoing contribution to the game, the age at which he died and his persona, meant this was always going to be a big story. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
