S. K . Warne - Cricket will miss you mate!

Another sports quote from yours truly - thought that I will pay tributes to one of the sports' most colorful personalities - Shane Warne.

Its been a privilege of the highest order to just watch the man weave his magic on unsuspecting victims - read batsman - ala guinea pigs before they become the next discovery or the next find of the century.

I still remember the Old trafford incident when a certain great Mike Gatting was flummoxed by 'The Ball of the Century', a delivery that defied all possible laws of physics and deified him right there! The man almost lived in a purple patch all through his cricketing career, never a dull moment, always committed, and a complete team player. Sadly Life is known as a great leveller and his personal life balanced it and his happiness was more on the field than off it.

His career is now drawing to a close and there must be millions who will want to thank him for making cricket as exciting as it is now, and for filling the game with flamboyance, committment and pure unadulterated class! So many budding cricketers who wanted to pick up leg spin bowling only because of the glamor that one man brought to the game- His career will soon be over, but the legacy he leaves behind,

Will never be !
