Earlier today, it was announced that Rodney Marsh, one of the all-time great wicket keepers had died at the age of 74 following a heart attack. It has now been announced that Shane Warne, who made his name by dismissing a bewildered Mike Gatting with what was described as the ball of the century, has also died aged just 52. A truly dark day for Australian cricket.

Very sad news and I'm totally shocked at the news about Shane Warne. R.I.P. to both Rod Marsh and Shane Warne |

RIP. Two Australian cricketing legends whom I've spent a fair amount of time listening to on TMS, and watching when they were out in the middle. Awfully sad news |

Shocked to hear the sad news about Warney. Just finished reading an unauthorised bio about him. |

Shane Warne was part of my childhood. He was the ultimate cricket player in my eyes and completely unplayable at times. He’ll be greatly missed 🙁

I couldn't believe the news when I saw the notification on my phone. The fact that I hated him, Adam Gilchrist (his "well bowled Shane" remarks behind the stumps) and Glenn McGrath in their prime just showed how good all 3 of them were, especially during the Ashes series. He would make things happen even if the conditions were not spin friendly conditions. Very shocking news and cricket has lost a iconic figure. RIP Warney  |

Such a shock to hear the news about Shane Warne today and just a day after Rod Marsh...
Shane Warne's "Ball of the Century":
Neil Hannon of the Divine Comedy wrote a song about it for his cricket-based side project The Duckworth Lewis Method, called "Jiggery Pokery", sung from the perspective of Mike Gatting:
