Title: All hail Shane Warne
Post by: janaage on Thursday, January 4, 2007, 09:04:27
The cricketing world will be a sadder place without this genius playing.  Great sledging today after receiving stick off the english fielders Warne turns to Collingwood and asks him

"Did you feel embarrassed for receiving an MBE for scoring 7 runs in a test series?"

Class.

Warney I only ever saw one over of yours live, the one where you bowled Strauss in last series second test, but you are a cricketing legend of the highest order!!!

He over appeals too much. When he does not get his own way liked johno said he gets moody and it is quite funny.

He's a great character and a great player.  Who cars if he gets moody, Cantona used to get moody doesn't stop him from being a complete legend though.  They both just want to win.

I couldn't care less where he's from - Warne is the greatest cricketer of my generation.

He might be a great player, but he's also been a cheating bastard and a complete cunt.

I don't understand that mentality tbh.  That's like saying I can't wait til Maradona retires or Cruyff retires, or even Bobby Charlton, just because you don't support their teams.

I supported none of the above but would love it if there were players like them still around.

Like Don Bradman, Viv Richards....

One of the great things about cricket....is that as its a long game, it gives lots of opportunities to savour and appreciate sporting opponents.

 Warne is right up there...in the pantheon of greats...certainly the greatest spinner I've seen in 40+ years of watching televised tests....also a great sportsman in  the wider sense.

  Nevertheless I'd still rate Garfield Sobers as the finest cricketer of the post war years

   No time for McGrath though.

Exactly, its the will to win that all great sportsmen and women have. He will be missed, but we don't mind as much cos do they have a real replacement spinner??

If you think Warnie's fat now, he'll be a fucking beached whale in a few years. Captain of Lashings CC in no time

When we had Lashings in May they were all quite trim, we're getting them again in 2 years so Warne would be outrageously ace.

I disagree he's a cheat or a cunt, just because all our lot lack street-fighterness and personality doesn't mean Warne or McGrath are wankers.

Legends.
