The post here when Warne does something dickish/creepy thread

[Adders]

Box office, and I don't think in my time of watching cricket there has been another quite like him.

Test cricket has been a big part of life for years, but often it's in the background.....It'll be on the TV or radio while I'm doing other ****. Sadly it's seldom I can just sit down and watch for prolonged periods. But when Shane Warne was bowling, you just stop and watch.........seriously don't think any other cricketer has had that affect on me.

Can't believe this.......I really can't.

Definitely don't close the thread. Funny **** he did like this is a big part of what made him a great. He could have been a boring **** and left much less of an impression.

You all know you’re all gonna talk to your grandkids about him in that loveable rogue way all the boomers talk about Miller, don’t you?

Cos I sure as **** will be.

Let’s be honest it’s partly because threads like this exist that his departure is front page news. He transcended sport. Without going overly morbid I doubt Glenn McGrath would inspire such a reaction, for example.

Warne was everything a rock and roll star should be, except he was a spin bowler.

Definitely. The George Best of his generation.

Yeah, I remember Warnie coming on to bowl bringing a halt to whatever you were doing at the time - mowing the lawn would take twice as long because you had to factor in breaks to watch him bowl his overs, and if you couldn't stop what you were doing, you did it as fast as possible so you could get to the tv to watch him weave his magic.
