Australian cricket, along with the entire cricketing world, is in a state of shock at the loss of Shane Warne, a true cricketing genius, who died aged 52. Australia men`s Test captain Pat Cummins said: "On behalf of the entire playing group and support staff here in Pakistan, I want to express our shock and sadness over Shane`s sudden passing. We are all numbed by the news. Shane was a once-in-a-century cricketer and his achievements will stand for all time, but apart from the wickets he took and the games he helped Australia win, what he did was draw so many people to the sport."
"So many of us in the playing group grew up idolising him and fell in love with this great sport as a result, while many of our support staff either played with him or against him. It has been a terrible couple of days for Australian cricket with the passing of Rod Marsh and now Shane," he added. Shane Warne is one of the most influential cricketers in history. He almost single-handedly reinvented the art of leg-spin when he burst onto the international scene in the early 1990s, and by the time he retired from international cricket in 2007, he had become the first bowler to reach 700 Test wickets.
