Shane Warne's death leaves cricket fraternity 'shocked and gutted'
The legendary legspinner died of a suspected heart attack
ESPNcricinfo staff04-Mar-2022Former Australia legspinner Shane Warne, at the age of 52, died of a suspected heart attack on Friday. The news left the cricket fraternity in a state of shock.
Numb. The highlight of my cricketing career was to keep wicket to Warnie. Best seat in the house to watch the maestro at work. Have often felt a tad selfish, that Heals and I pretty much exclusively are the only ones who had that thrill and pleasure at Test level. Rip Warnie.

Shocked, stunned & miserable…
Will miss you Warnie. There was never a dull moment with you around, on or off the field. Will always treasure our on field duels & off field banter. You always had a special place for India & Indians had a special place for you.
Gone too young! pic.twitter.com/219zIomwjB

Just been stung by a wrong'un coz The King has put the flipper through the pearly gates too early. He lived life to the fullest, and left enough sunshine for me to stand in his shadow. #GreatestEverWarnie
