Spent years literally crying as England lost ashes after ashes cursing Shane warne. Leaving the oval a few years ago after he retired I spotted him crossing the road leaving the oval after a day’s play, my son had started playing and enjoyed watching clips on RU-vid. After asking for an autograph hastily as he said of course he asked if I had a pen.. not only didn’t I haven’t a pen I didn’t have anything to sign.. he said come to my car and in really good humour signed the days scorecard. Just a very very nice guy.. my son was thrilled.
@@yoganathan001 I'm really bewildered as to why people like you come into a comment section to spew negative poison and insult people that have not attempted to be offensive. If you don't have something positive or constructive to say, better to say nothing at all. That comment says a lot more about you than it does about the OP. Liking your own comments is also very sad.

Even though he always crushed Englands hopes and dreams we all loved Warne. Amazing cricketer and respected by all England fans for his skill and spirit.
@@stevemurrell6167 I agree, (I'm Australian), but his magnanimous sportsmanship in the face of a completely unexpected and very painful defeat for all Aussie cricket fans in 2005 was astonishing.
This English cricket fan loved watching Shane play, the greatest spin bowler I have ever seen, even better than Underwood and seeing him being interviewed he always came across to me as a good man who I would enjoy having a pint with
I don't know how I ended up watching this, yes I remember Shane warne was an Australian bowler from when I was a kid, that's all I know. I have no emotional investment whatsoever with cricket but honestly this interview was fantastic, he's so right about a lot of things, especially the parts about sport today not having personality, you can tell how much it meant to him, a real winner and an inspiration..RIP.🙏
A working class hero is something to be. Absolute tragedy. Kiwi love to his family, his friends, all of Australia. One of the greatest sportsman that ever lived. An inspiration. A national treasure. Yet a normal bloke. RIP digger. Missed by billions
Shane got me into cricket when I young...and I am English and he and Australia where kicking us all over the place, all the time. Will be missed by every cricket fan around the world.
He doesn't seem to regret not being captain. I think in the end he is right, people remember how you played the game He played an exciting brand of cricket and won games for Australia.
As an Englishman I can tell you he was loved on these shores. He transcended the sport and was great in the commentary box. He is massively missed here during the summer.
I don’t know if knighthood’s can be given posthumously, but if they can, I think Shane should be given one for both his character and inspiration and also for the work he did for charity. I say, rest in peace Sir Shane.
Not a pretentious bone in his body. Totally genuine. As Sam Newman said, if cricket was played in America, Shane would have been 1 of the biggest stars on the planet.
Simply a special human being who had genius for leg spin bowling. Could listen to him all day and thanks to uploads like this, we still can. R.I.P. legend...
I’ve had to watch some of your interviews again just to remind myself just how much I admired you as a cricketer and all round good bloke, I still can’t believe that you have gone, the world has lost a shining light the sky has gained a star that burns bright. RIP Warnie the sports and cricket world has lost an all time great. 😔😪🙏🏽👟💫🏏🍻🏏 🇦🇺
This is absolute just fkn crap I cannot believe we lost a legend, Someone that I grew up watching Warnie on TV with dad, Summer afternoon cricket with Richie, Bill and Greigy, heading to the local bakery to get some pastie and pies and a soft drink, I will cherish this poster in my office of the Australian ODI heroes hand signed by Ricky Ponting.
What an open book he was. Not always for the right reasons, but he stayed true to himself through it all. Thanks for giving so much to so many. RIP King
Loved this talk! Shane Warne is a great character besides being a great cricketer. Just a treat to hear him talk about the various life experiences that shaped him before he made it big in cricket. Totally agree with his observation about the fun aspect being inexorably expunged out of cricket because of extreme political correctness and the downright boring cookie-cutter type club cricketers with no personality for whom cricket more often than not is a job to make money. There is certainly less passion, competitiveness, quality and flair in the game now. 90's were the abosolute heydays!
@@saldistafano7665 that’s so bloody true. There wasn’t none of this over the top political correctness or excessive catering to the crowds. Just the right amount of modernity and the old school stuff. Although things must evolve we have lost too much of the old school stuff that was worth keeping.
There are many, many more people in this world who give their services to the community for nothing, commit acts of bravery, and who save the lives of others who would be way more worthy of being called "Sir" than this arrogant Prima Donna, whose behaviour on a cricket field was like that of a big, fat overgrown schoolboy. In my opinion you don't get knighted just because you are a legend at something and have got a bit of character.
Still just can't believe this man is no more. Sometimes we understood the value of things or person when they are no more around. Only Good has happened atleast he put his career in his book before leaving to read his heart out.
I've actually lost count of how many times I've watched this wonderful interview. It is so relaxing when you listen to these legends speak about their game and the expert analysis and insights they bring along. The amount of knowledge we can gain from them as cricket players and fans is truly amazing❤❤❤ Dearest Shane, it is still hard to believe that you are no longer with us. You left a void that can never be filled on the cricketing field as well as in the commentary box. Rest In Peace Legend 😢💔
I’m at home, clapping and laughing as though I’m there in the room. Mike Atherton is a fabulous interviewer. Warnie might be a prick, but he is charismatic and thoughtful and speaks so well about cricket. This is great!
What a great interview. Shane Warne is thoughtful, funny and very honest about the rollercoaster of fame and his rich experience of being a world class cricketer. Atherton is a classy and witty interviewer but should not have been so judgmental in referring to his Shane Warne's parenthood as "A work in progress" - you just don't do that! Let the man tell his own story. He also has an annoying habit of interrupting Warne mid way through some of his answers. Those issues aside, it's a cut above most other sporting interviews. Warne is equally engaging and insightful as a commentator; be sure to catch him in commentary on Sky on the current Australia tour of England .
I more-or-less stopped watching cricket after Warnie retired. After him, everything else was a bit boring. I hadn't realised that he was a deep thinker. A lot of wisdom in what he said.
@Mick Williams I agree with you, Mick. Particularly about emphasis on entertaining the crowd. I think that the increasing the audience size and catering to the mob, who are not there to watch cricket but to be entertained by instant dramatics, was all about making more money. One of the joys of watching Warnie was to see how he worked a batsman for an over or two, looking for a weakness and exploiting the weakness to get the batsman into a position where the wicket was inevitable.
not getting the captaincy was a boon for Aus, let types like Warne do his thing, diluting his talents by having to focus on captaincy would have been bad for Australia, in some ways his off field antics did Australia a favour.
@Adam Gilchrist Whatever, taking captaincy absolutely diminishes the greats like it would have done to Warne, like it did Botham and others before and since. You fail to grasp how draining it is mentally and physically. You don't know that you would have won the '05 ashes, absolutely none, too many variables, like the phrase goes, if my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.
My leg spin coach Scott Moody shared the same locker room with Shane in the Australian academy and got a mention on page 47. Scott also got trained by TJ but unfortunately Scott got a serious illness and didn’t make it pro. He’s now a full time coach in the uk and is best leg spin coach. No money can buy warne and Jenner’s acknowledge but he’s under the radar massively.
I read the book last week. Warne speaks very highly about a lot of people he shared various parts of his journey with right back to the earlier days. It’s horrible to read how illness, injury, or personal circumstances prevent some young people from achieving their ambitions. But great to read that his former young teammate is now a coach at a very good level.
This is gold; I could have watched much much more of it. It's great to see the huge admiration of the audience and Atherton himself towards Warne. An obviously massive talent with such presence both on the field and off it.
just watching this after watching the memorial service from Melbourne yesterday. What a huge loss. Few cricketers break out of 'cricket fame' into mainstream cultural icon fame, but Shane did. His maverick genius & technical genius was exciting, but his character, his charisma was so appealing. So many anecdotes about how he was a humble, kind man too. Rest in peace Shane. You were England's greatest enemy and our greatest friend x
shanes world,a complex character to say the least,so down to earth you cringe at times, so unpretencious/unreserved that its disturbing, he cetainly doesnt lack self confidence...his cricket ability and desire to win is/was second to none
This is what I love to see , the legends of the game talking about the game and the legends they faced , it brings back so much memories and shows the mutual respect .
Fancy getting a ticket to this and just sitting there filming it on your phone. Not only rude to Shane and your fellow guests, but dopey seeing it was being officially filmed
Although he was a thorn in England’s side for many years, I could only watch and admire his bowling. I remember watching the test match in the ashes series of 93 and being dumbfounded at his delivery to Mike Gatting. I think the look on Gatting’s face said everything!! Like what just happened?? And apparently he was on the verge of being dropped from the Australian team before that series as he was playing badly. Imagine that!!
