Updated to reflect the sad news of Rod Marsh. Updated the scores of the two XIs to reflect birthdays but not the squad players. 

It's hopefully a long way out but at the moment I'd predict Gooch and Lawson to be the last survivors from the 81 series.

A case of shocked but not surprised

 

One of the most significant players of his generation

How you not surprised. He wasn’t that unhealthy that a heart attack (Reported to be the cause of death) was not a massive surprise

 

 

Biggest death of the year so far in Australia, Uk and other cricketing nations. Even my mum knows who he is.

I said to my wife  Shane Warne has died

 

First thing she said was Heart - he did not look like someone who was going to get old.

 

The last time she had seen him on telly she was surprised at the amount of weight he had put on

Steve Bing, Shane Warne: are we seeing the curse of rawdogging Liz Hurley?

wtf was my initial reaction. Always a bit of a shock/surprise when someone dies of a heart attack at a pretty young age (i.e. younger than me).

 

If I remember correctly, liked a fag and a drink!

Could it have been a Douglas Adams-style "doctors tell him to lose some weight or he'll have a heart attack, goes too hard on the treadmill and triggers a heart attack regardless"?

Maybe. He was on holiday at his Vila in Thailand when he died.

"Can you tell what it is yet?"

"Crikey mate, it's a myocardial infarction, and he's a big one!!" :dead3:

Wow not expecting this, never expected him to live till he was in his 90’s but 52 is no age at all, one of the all time greats gone too soon. RIP Shane.

THe greatest spin bowler ever. Was great for the game as he was clearly passionate about it and was always good to listen to. What a shock. RIP

Damn. Remember watching him bowl on TV during my childhood days, never seen anyone spin the ball like him.

In shock.

 

Most fun bowler to watch of my lifetime even when he was bowling at the England team and looked like he loved it too.

 

Those Aussie news segments nicely prepped up for 5 mins of Rod Marsh obit coverage are going to have to edit it down to about 30 seconds.

 

'.....oh and Rod Marsh died too earlier today.'
