Shane Warne was one of Australia\u2019s most famous sports stars. He did so much for the reputation of cricket both in Australia and abroad. With a larger than life personality and an infectious smile, Warne lit up any room that he was in. Tragically he passed, far too soon, in March of last year at the age of just 52. Exactly a year on, we\u2019re going to take a look back at the career and personal life of Shane Warne, a true legend of Australian cricket.<\/p>\n

Shane Warne\u2019s Life on the Pitch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shane Warne\u2019s cricket career began in 1983 when he was selected to play for the University of Melbourne Cricket Club, where he played in an under-16s tournament and cemented himself a place on the team. It wouldn\u2019t be until three years later that he was chosen to train at the Australian Cricket Academy. He spent a year honing his skills before moving to the UK and getting signed to Accrington Cricket Club as their bowler \u2013 and so his professional cricket career began.<\/p>\n

Over the next 22 years, Warne\u2019s\u00a0right-arm leg spin style<\/a> saw him go down in history as one of the greatest bowlers that the sport had ever seen. During his time playing for Victoria, Hampshire, and Australia, he set the record for the most wickets taken by any bowler in Test cricket, with 708 wickets to his name.<\/p>\n

After his retirement, Warne couldn\u2019t stay away from the game. He worked often as a cricket commentator, bringing a degree of mastery and insight to his commentary that made games even more fascinating to watch. He also coached for the Rajasthan Royals, captaining the team at different points too.<\/p>\n

Shane Warne at the Poker Table<\/strong><\/p>\n

As well as being a brilliant cricketer, Shane Warne was also at home at the poker table. He played in several live tournaments and was even part of a poker pro team. Not only did he enjoy a round of poker, but he was partial to visiting casino resorts whilst on vacation. If you\u2019d like to achieve a little of what Shane Warne\u00a0did on the tables of the card game\u00a0but don\u2019t feel up to an in-person game\u00a0just quite yet, then this review of PokerStars Casino Ontario<\/a> shows just how much fun it\u2019s possible to have online. After playing at the Aussie Millions, the WSOP, and the 888 UK Poker Open, Warne slowed down his poker career in order to pursue charity work.<\/p>\n

Ed Sheeran Pays Tribute to Shane Warne<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the 2nd of March, Ed Sheeran\u00a0played a show<\/a> at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, a ground that Warne knew well. Warne\u2019s loved ones watched from a corporate box, in the stand now named after him. Whilst the night was guaranteed to be a great one, in no small part thanks to the friendship between Ed Sheeran and Shane Warne, his family certainly weren\u2019t expecting Sheeran to stop in the middle of his break-through song \u2018A-Team\u2019 to dedicate it to Shane Warne himself. What a beautiful tribute just one year on.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
