Shane Warne found dead: is the cricket equivalent of Maradona, the bowling equivalent of Bradman, the ultimate magician, and a flawed genius.
THE WORLD OF CRICKET LOST NOT ONLY ONE OF ITS GREATEST CRICKETERS; BUT ALSO ONE OF ITS GREATEST CHARACTERS AT 7.30 PM INDIA TIME ON FRIDAY. Shane Warne, an Australian leg-spinner; died of a suspected heart attack in his hotel room on the Thai island of Koh Samui. He was 52 years old, long retire but nevertheless active as a pundit; his knowledge of the game as valuable as his art.
At farewells and in obituaries, the phrase “there was no one quite like…” is frequently use as a formality. But in Warne’s situation, the cliche could not be more accurate. Few bowled leg-spin like him, as evidenced by his 708 Test wickets and 293 ODI wickets. To claim that no one bowled like him, in any age, would be an understatement.
He was bowling’s Donald Bradman. Apter might be compared to Diego Maradona in cricket. He, like the Argentine, radiated from the treasures provided by nature, and his desire for life’s joys was insatiable. He made blunders in life and in the game; like that flawed football genius — both were banned for using medicines to promote weight loss — but Warne’s journey never spiraled out of control.
Amusingly, control is likely the final quality you’d relate with his bowling; it was all around the enchantment. At the center of it all, be that as it may; was culminate, regularly otherworldly control of cricket’s most troublesome make – a wrist spinner with finger spinner control. Each step had a calm reason and the precision of a specialist. He’d perused the batsman like a clinician in that three-stride run-up, his shimmering blue eyes picking up unobtrusive signals.

But, despite his bowling prowess, he was also a great fielder at slips and a free-wheeling batsman; with a Test maximum score of 99. His razor-sharp cricket mind, capable of recognizing technical and mental flaws; led many in Australia to hail him as the finest captain Australia has ever had. As he engineered Rajasthan Royals’ fairy-tale victory in IPL-1; Warne ended up being the greatest captain the team has ever had.
His light hair, beach-bum demeanor, and off-field hijinks all helped his reputation. Warne was fined in 1994 for giving data to a bookmaker; and suspended for a year in 2003 for taking a prohibited diuretic after being caught; smoking secretly after marking an anti-smoking campaign. He was fined in 1994 for giving data to a bookmaker; and suspended for a year in 2003 for taking a prohibited diuretic. Shane dated a number of women, including Liz Hurley, a well-known actress. He trash-talked, enraged, and offended different people at different times, but his flaws did not detract from his environment; in fact, they may have improved it.

When Warne died, he was 52 years old, but in the eyes of the cricketing world; he would always be young, always Mr Hollywood. He did his part to maintain that image; working out in the gym to get in better shape than ever before and undergoing hair transplants and cosmetic procedures. He appeared to be unable to let go of his long-haired youth on some level. But, alas, he had to leave in the middle of a beautiful spell that only he could have bowled.
