I remember this one well - I was surveying in the Strzeleki Desert and listening to this on ABC radio whenever I had the chance to get back to the truck. Every time I went back it seemed Warne had another wicket and we all realised that this Warne bloke might be a bit special. That day flew by pretty quickly.
RIP Shane Warne. I'm an American and quite new to being a Cricket fan. But I was somehow mysteriously drawn to Shane Warne and the Australian Team for some reason. I wish I had gotten into it earlier to be able to watch him play as he was coming up and dominating. From what I understand he was also quite the electric and compelling personality of the Field too (Liz Hurley?!!?😍😍 well done!). So these You Tube videos are nice for me. If and when I ever do try to play Cricket I'm gonna do my best to try to spin it like Warnie did.
Good luck with the spin bowling - I imagine you'll find out just how difficult it is to place the ball like Warnie did - let alone spin it so huge! Welcome to the great game of cricket!
Fair to say, Warne was the last spinner who really used to SPIN the Ball, after that, I haven't seen a bowler who bravely tossed and tried to spin the ball as much as Warne ❤ Now a days, Bowlers get scared by 1-2 sixes and start bowling quicker balls.
What a bowler !! Once in a generation bowler !! I can watch him bowl all day long n will never get bored !! In my view warne n muralitharan, the greatest spinners of all time!!
Just got this shocking news that Shane Warne is no more. Still could not believe the news. Cricket lost a great legend. He contributed to the game a lot. I grew as kid watching him bowl batsmen around legs. Contributing some important runs from bat. His ability to read the game was awesome. Truly Warne had no parallel. Lots of respect from India. And condolences to his bereaved family.
It's amazing back then how much flight and dip he was getting, putting it above the batsman's eye line. He was putting some crazy revolutions on the ball. It's a good reminder for a wrist spinner starting out, it must go up out of the hand.
I being a leg spinner truly admire him,he is a legend the thing that he teaches us is to be relaxed even when you are being slogged. Just follow your basics and practice what you preache.
I never used to like watching test cricket that much but loved watching Warne bowl,there was always something happening and you always thought he could get someone out with every ball so it kept you glued to the screen.
I am South African and support my team but Shane Warne to be has no equal. He was and probably still is the only and best leg spinner of all time. Dear Shane. You are a star to me for your talent and brilliance. I wish you could come back. I used to love to hate you when we faced you but one cannot deny your brilliant leg spins. God bless from Cape town South Africa.
...sorely missed is the commentary of Richie Benaud and the skill to say what still sounds right even today. So missed, he was ...is still ...a sound from my youth and those happy days.
man i love watching cricket at this level. today is not even close in my eyes. It visibly hurt shane warne every time someone hit a boundry off him. 1:45
Warne was always exciting to watch. Even when he was getting smacked, you felt like something was going to happen. Just doesn't feel like that with Lyon even though he still takes wickets. This was the era where I could actually sit and watch a whole days play, great players and great characters.
So great to hear those departed voices in Richie Benaud and Tony Greig, and of course the once-in-a-generation bowler, the Irreplaceable Shane Warne, May they all be resting in peace🙏💝
R.I.P G.O.A.T shane warne you will be always remembered for your magical leg spin bowling across all formats really a gem of a person and a cricketer 😊♥️
I grew up with Warne. you dont know what you have till its gone. what a player he was. It seems like no one can match the turn he got of the pitch, and on fast Australian wickets too.
That first flipper is a thing of beauty, but my favourite is the DeFreitas wicket. That ball starts on off stump, drifts well outside leg and then spins back to hit leg stump.
