In a prim, censorious game, Warnie was the soul of indiscretion
There will never be another Shane Warne, in part because of the astronomical odds against the original. No Australian cricketer achieved such distinctive greatness no Australian athlete has attained such unique fame no Australian man was as discussed, exalted, execrated, lauded and lampooned.

His career and life veered between extremes, but Shane Warne leaves a legacy of greatness
As fans reel from the news of his death, it is impossible to avoid conjuring images of Shane Warne that are not sombre and serious at all. How could a "Warnie" moment ever be sombre and serious, writes Russell Jackson.
