  • Julien changed the title to Shane Warne & Rod Marsh die

I saw Rod Marsh had died on BBC sport and was completely shocked just now to see the news about Shane Warne. 

 

Rod Marsh was before my time but I was lucky enough to see Shane Warne play a couple of times. 

 

A sad sad loss and about 30 years to young.

Never actually got to see Warnie play, except on television (The Bride didn't approve of cricket ...) but saw Swampy many times - the best ever behind the stumps, even better than Wally Grout. They will both be greatly missed.

I was at Old Trafford in 93 when Warnie bowled that magic ball. It looked to be heading down legside and I am sure Gatting must have thought the same, to see it nip back behind his legs and go on to hit the wicket was amazing. I was lucky to have just witnessed the finest piece of legspin bowling I have seen. 

Rod Marsh and Shane Warne were two great players for their country, and a fantastic inspiration for many young players coming through. A sad loss for all fans of the game and the world of cricket.

 

For when the one great scorer comes

To write against your name.

He writes - not that you won or lost

But how you played the game.

 

RIP guys,
