    Shane Warne was watching cricket, about to go to dinner before 20 minutes of CPR

    Harry Morrow left a can of VB, a meat pie and a packet of cigarettes at Warne’s feet on Saturday, in memory of the man he said “was Australian cricket”.

    To be fair, Warnie shagged about 20% of the women in Accrington.

    In one night.

    The one thing in common is the age. Both men passed away far too soon. Both were huge in stature in their respective fields too

    Why? Because he's being honest that a close friend of his didn't look after himself and he was worried he'd die early as a result?

    I feel like it was a little too soon for that sort of honesty, at least in public comments. His family will still be struggling to get to grips with the loss

    Of course they will, it's terribly sad, but I reckon Heals knows them better than randoms on the internet. They'd also have an idea of the damage he had inflicted on himself over the years - this insight wouldn't have come out of the blue.

    And TBH I've never understood this "too soon" argument. Who determines that?

    Obviously too soon for Shark... I agree, he knows Warne better than any of us. If it was me I wouldn't have made the comment in public. But that's just me

    To be fair, that's not really a boast.

    It would be a fair bet that Shane did not once speak about porking sheilas in Accrington, or anywhere, who were in their "very early 90s"! 🙂

    You have to hand it to the guy, pretty indiscriminate. Quantity AND quality. Legend!

    And a bloody good cricketer too.

    New Zealand Archives - Australian Golf Digest

    Aussie Golfer Wayne Riley

    Riley is in Orlando this week working his usual job as an on-course commentator for Sky Sports in the UK, although the bulk of his work is on the European Tour. Warne was an avid watcher of European Tour golf and would regularly text Riley while he was on air and sledge him about things he’d just said.

    “He had a way of making every Australian feel like they knew him. He was all of us, but he happened to be one of the greatest cricketers ever. I’m gutted.”

    Weird feeling. A bit like if Jordan died.

    I won’t miss his commentary but will miss his personality
