Iz Avstralije prihajajo žalostne novice, saj smo v istem dnevu, 4. marcu 2022, izgubili dva izmed največjih igralcev kriketa vseh časov.
Najprej se je v 75. letu starosti poslovil Rod Marsh, ki je 24. februarja doživel srčni zastoj, po osmih dneh boja za življenje pa je ponoči preminil v bolnišnici.
Izguba legende avstralskega kriketa je močno udarila tudi Shana Warna, verjetno celo najboljšega igralca vseh časov na svoji poziciji, ki se je od svojega vzornika poslovil s čustvenim zapisom na Twitterju.
"Kako žalostno je bilo slišati novico, da je preminil Rod Marsh. Bil je legenda našega športa in pravi navdih za vse mlade dečke in deklice. Rodu je bilo resnično mar za kriket in toliko je dal temu športu, še posebej avstralskim in angleškim igralcem. Ros in družini pošiljam obilo ljubezni. Počivaj v miru, kolega."
Sad to hear the news that Rod Marsh has passed. He was a legend of our great game & an inspiration to so many young boys & girls. Rod cared deeply about cricket & gave so much-especially to Australia & England players. Sending lots & lots of love to Ros & the family. RIP mate❤️

Vsega nekaj ur kasneje je bil pri vsega 52 letih mrtev tudi Shane Warne. Podrobnosti zaenkrat še niso znane, ve se le, da je preminil v svoji vili na Tajskem. Domneva se, da naj bi prav tako šlo za srčni zastoj.
"Shane so našli v njegovi vili, kjer ni kazal znakov življenja. Kljub vsem naporom zdravniškega osebja, se ga ni dalo več rešiti," so zapisali iz agencije, ki je zastopala legendarnega igralca kriketa.
Warnu, bivšemu možu znane igralke Elizabeth Hurley, so se preko socialnih omrežij že poklonili in se od njega poslovili skorajda vsi velikani kriketa in številne druge znane osebnosti.
Legbreaks. Flippers. Batters bamboozled. Fans awestruck. World Cup, Ashes, IPL wins.

The wizard not only revived legspin, he became legspin. A bowling action imitated by the world over.

Shane Warne made me fall in love with the game as an 8 year old and he has completely inspired me every day since. I am so honoured and lucky to have been able to spend time with him and learn from him. He was everything I could have asked for and so much more. RIP to the King pic.twitter.com/wQDXuK7C1j
