BREAKING: Australia cricket legend Shane Warne dies of suspected heart attack.
Australia cricket legend and the greatest leg-spinner of all-time, Shane Warne, has died, aged 52.
Warne’s management released a brief statement in the early hours of Saturday (AEDT), that he passed away in Koh Samui, Thailand, of a suspected heart attack.
“Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” the statement reads.
“The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.”
The news is the second devastating blow for Australian cricket within 24 hours with fellow great, Rod Marsh, also dying on Friday having suffered a major heart attack last week.
Affectionately known as ‘Warnie’ and adored by millions across the globe, Warne is considered by many as the greatest bowler to ever play the game.
His stellar international career spanned across 15 years and saw him take 708 Test wickets — the most ever for an Australian, and the second-most of all time behind only Muttiah Muralitharan.

Mark lanegan, saw him years ago at the Garage in Glasgow, very talented.
Procol Harum were great. And much better than Whiter Shade of Pale. Here (hopefully) is Conquistador-1 of my favourite songs
Regularly appeared with Clapton. But here is an awesome vocal performance for the criminally under-rated (in the UK) Alan Parsons Project.

Wow, 92. Very sad.
He was the man responsible for the modern LBW rule, as batsmen such as Colin Cowdrey simply came down the wicket & padded away.
