The R.I.P. Thread

[Donegal Wolf]

Put £5 (Lillee put on £10) on England to win during the Headingly test in 1981 for a bit of fun at 500/1.

Of course backfired badly even though he won £2,500, used to get very annoyed (quite rightly) when people came out with shit that he wasn't trying for the rest of the game due to the bet.

I was at Headingley for day 4 of that test.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Absolutely gutted. The greatest bowler of all time.

 

[Mel Evo]

Oh no. Really sad.

 

[Tony Towner]

Should be the record wicket taker as well

 

[Pompey Wolf]

Absolutely horrible. Shocked. Never seen a bowling performance like his in the 2005 Ashes. The greatest. RIP

 

[Del Woppio]

Bloody hell. What a fucking player he was, and an incredibly likable bloke too

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Christ. Greatest bowler I ever saw.

 

[Trips]

Absolutely gutted with the news about Warne

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

3 years older than me. Fuck that makes me feel vulnerable.

you're never that young!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Still in my forties for a couple more months!

 

[Haggstone]

Blimey! That’s really shocked me to be honest. There was almost an air of invincibility about him in my minds eye.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

It is truly shocking news, he was a constant thorn in our side, but you couldn't help but appreciate how gifted a player he truly was

 

[Parkins left foot]

Shane Warne - real shock & no age at all

Only saw him live once, but what a bowler - total control & did stuff no one else was capable of

 

[Papper]

Warne. That boy could chuck a ball. Gutted.
