    Bit of a shock to wake up to ,

    Particularly living here in Melbourne, local Vic hero and all that ,

    Last time I saw Warney for anyone that knows Melbourne was at the service station at the corner of Nepean highway and north rd Brighton months back

    He finished pumping just before me and I ended up in the queue to pay just behind him .

    Cracked me up he also ordered 6 packs of cigarettes.

    Rip

    This one is really sad. One of those people I would have really loved to have a beer with. His war stories would have been worth me putting my hand in my pocket all night.

    See ya Warney, thanks for those magic moments and never being boring.

    Yeah one of those cases of a person being a sporting legend AND a dynamic personality. So often it’s one or the other.

    He would have been terrific company over a few beers.

    One of the best cricketers I ever had the pleasure of watching (maybe the best of my time) still old school off the field.

    Beers and durries

    Wow. So young but a life well lived. GOAT spinner and a dead set legend on and off the field.

    @mariner4life when being with Liz Hurley probably wasnt even the pinnacle moment of your life, you know you have clocked life.

    One of those rare characters whose legacy stretched beyond the game he played.

    Far, far too young, RIP fella.

    Suspected heart attack. At 52. Even at 74 Rod Marsh was hardly decrepit to the point of having massive heart issues.

    As someone who has had heart surgery for something that would have otherwise gone undetected bar a visit to the cardiologist, I can say with a reasonable level of authority that all you Polish chicks should make time to see your GP, get blood tests, and look after yourselves besides.

    Regards,

    Rod Marsh and Warnie in the same 24 hours,

    Rule of threes. Thankfully I was a shit cricketer so that rules me out.

    He made spin cool again in Oz. Just look at some of these deliveries:

    Just shocking. RIP.

    A true sporting legend. A true character.

    Hard to believe someone so full of energy is gone so young.

    Was having that exact chat with one of the Dads at kids sport just before. Warnie actually looked in great shape last I saw him on TV, outwardly he looked far healthier than when he was playing.

    It certainly reminded me of my own heart issues ( thankfully very minor )

    I suspect too much of what us blokes on here indulge in plus copious amounts of coke didn’t help.

    I was a bit gutted about Rod Marsh, because I grew up watching him and I'm even more gutted about Warnie, because I expected to get old listening to him.

    Really sad days for cricket fans.
