Warnie

Warnie, as he was affectionately known, transcended cricket. People who otherwise have no feelings whatsoever for the game suddenly turn passionate at the mention of his name. Clearly, millions of people adored him, given the huge outpouring of emotion at his tragic, untimely passing. Warnie was an ordinary kid from the suburbs who became the best in the world. He possessed a rare gift: a genius for spin-bowling. A rare, almost mystical art-form. He completely changed the game of cricket. Shane Warne loved life. He absolutely ate it up. He loved people and they loved him back. And through it all, he stayed true to himself. He lived to be a legend, an icon. And this is his story.
