Legendary Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne departed for heavenly abode on March 4, owing to suspected cardiac arrest whilst being on a holiday in Thailand’s Koh Samui. Thousands of fans, and plenty of celebrities have gathered at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to pay last tribute to one of the most flamboyant icons of the gentleman’s game.
The well-loved Australian cricketer died at a luxury resort in Thailand this month from a suspected heart attack aged 52, eliciting shock and grief from his millions of fans as well as prime ministers, rock stars and fellow players.
A stand at the MCG was to be officially re-named after Warne, who in the eyes of many is second only to Bradman in Australia’s long list of sporting greats. Some fans attending wore their cricket kit, while others donned Warne T-shirts. Emotions ran high as they snapped pictures in front of his statue outside the MCG.
Mark Taylor, who captained Warne for Australia, said the huge interest showed “how admired Shane Warne was“. “The fact he had that rough diamond character about him made him what people like to see. People like to see something a bit different, and they got that with Warnie,” Taylor told reporters.
