Had never read that. Brilliant. Roebuck was something else.Roebuck, the greatest cricket writer since Cardus, on Warne's Ball of the Century, first published in 2005:
The most beautiful moment the game has known: Roebuck on Warne’s ball of the century
Shane Warne’s first ball bowled in England in 1993 was a statement of intent that stunned the cricketing world.www.theage.com.au
Good morning, Mr Gatting. Good morning, England. My name is Warne and I bowl leg spin.
Fitting he passed on a cloudy rainy night in Melbourne, even though he was far away
Not going to lie, shed tears when I heard about this. I watched him play his first test and thought how is this chubby bugger going to get another game, and I watched his last.
Not only the greatest cricketer I have witnessed in my lifetime but also the nicest bloke you could ever meet. Life is pretty shitty sometimes.
Rest in peace S.K Warne.

And so he was Mick, so he was.

Warne was watching cricket, about to go to dinner before 20 minutes of CPR
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.
The news broke in the middle of the working day here. Warne would be one of the very few Australian sporting personalities that my (Danish) wife would know of. She heard about it before she got home from work and before I had the chance to tell her. It made the news here:
The last few days have to the worst ever for the loss of Australian Sporting Champion's.

Stunned and saddened.
The pressure for a sporting icon to be in shape must be immense. Warne passed away just 4 days into a new shredding phase of dieting after a history of yoyo dieting.
Losing weight quickly is something we celebrate. Maybe Warne's passing can lead to a positive addition to improve Australian culture - it becomes an Australian way of thinking to "get healthy... but take your time".
When it comes to dieting, "don't throw a fast ball, throw a smart one".

Cheers for sharing that. Great reminder how great a wordsmith Roebuck was.
Still incredibly flat about Warne.
The most charismatic and great sportsman of Leysy's lifetime.
Great story, Heath.
It's funny hearing stories like this.
People you wouldn't automatically associate being Tigers supporters being interstate or in other sports.
eg Ash being a Queenslander and Simon Katich from WA/NSW.
Just shows how broad Richmond's appeal is.
But getting back on topic.
RIP Tiger Bacchus.
RIP The Sheik of Tweak.
Still can't quite believe it.
Great interview I reckon.
