Very sad, way too young. As big as sporting hero as Australia ever produced

Totally shocked by the news, he looked healthier these days than when he was playing cricket.

Sad news to wake up to. RIP Warnie.

Haven’t watched cricket at all, I’d imagine it’s as big as Kobe Bryant dying in the NBA. RIP.

Yeah, Shane Warne was an absolute legend in the sport of cricket. A huge Australian dude who played the game with passion and energy. He'll be missed down under and all over.

Basically. He's one of the GOATs

I dont follow cricket but the man was a legend. Like how kids in America would yell "Kobe" when they take a shot, every kid in my age group grew up trying to spin bowl like Shane Warne at school cricket.

Warne was watching cricket, about to go to dinner before collapsing

The most successful spin bowler of all time, whose skill and humour inspired a generation of cricketers, was found unconscious with the historic first Test match between Australia and Pakistan playing on the television.

“He didn’t drink much. Everyone thinks he’s a big boozer but he’s not a big boozer at all. I sent him a crate of wine, 10 years later it’s still there. He doesn’t drink, never took drugs, ever. He hated drugs so nothing untoward."
