R.I.P Shane WarneSport

PC

I am still in shock. He was my hero growing up when watching cricket and I also enjoyed listening to him in commentary as well. I bowled leg-spin because of Warne and many many kids took up leg-spin too. He was a freak of a bowler - the best leg-spinner ever. He had an outstanding career and is one of the most influential cricketers not only in Australian cricket but also in world cricket. The word "Legend" is often said about a lot of players in cricket but Shane Warne most definitelya Legend. His career stats were:
