'Shane was the greatest ever cricketer but more than that his character lit up every dressing room, comm box, bar, golf club & friendship group.'
The sports world has been left in a state of shock by the news of the sudden death of the great Shane Warne.From modern cricketing greats like England's Ben Stokes to all-time legends of the game like Viv Richards, the overwhelming reaction was that the great bowler's death at the age of just 52 on Friday seemed unthinkable.
"Shane was the greatest ever cricketer but more than that his character lit up every dressing room, comm box, bar, golf club & friendship group.West Indian legend Richards, who, like Warne, was one Wisden's five cricketers of the century, said: "Unbelievable. I am shocked to the core. This can't be true... There are no words to describe what I feel right now. A huge loss for cricket.
Another Indian batting legend Virat Kohli described Warne as the "goat" - greatest of all-time - saying: "Life is so fickle and unpredictable. His fellow Indian star, paceman Jasprit Bumrah said he was "shocked beyond words ... A legend of our game, an icon, and someone who revolutionised spin bowling."
Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi felt cricket "has lost what I consider a university of leg-spin bowling today.""This man is a LEGEND," he added.
