Legendary Australian cricketer Shane Warne's $21 million will revealed! Here's who got how much

<p>On Thursday (December 29), Australia ended South Africa's miseries in the second and penultimate Test, at the MCG, Melbourne, to win by an innings and 182 runs. From the word go, Australia have dominated proceedings and showed no signs of slowing down on the fourth day, when play&nbsp;resumed with SA being 15 for 1 after conceding a whopping 386-run lead.</p>

<p>Theunis de Bruyn, Temba Bavuma (65), and Kyle Verreynne showed some resistance but never threatened the Pat Cummins-led Aussie bowlers as Scott Boland (2 for 49) and Nathan Lyon&nbsp;(3 for 58) accounted for regular breakthroughs whereas the likes of Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc and Cummins chipped in with a wicket each. The Proteas batters once again fell flat as the team has now lost four successive Tests to dent their chances of reaching the WTC final. Had it not been for their last-wicket partnership, which added 27 runs, it would've been their&nbsp;eighth consecutive innings where South Africa wouldn't have touched the 200-run mark.</p>

<p>Australia got everything right from the coin toss. Opting to bowl first, they rode on IPL 2023 auction's star Cameron Green&nbsp;(5 for 27) to rattle SA for 189. David Warner, playing his 100th Test, scored a majestic 200 (255) whereas Alex Carey's 111 and fifties from Steve Smith (85), Travis Head, and Green took Australia to a mammoth 575-8 decl.

Australia thrash South Africa by an innings and 182 runs to win 2nd Test, take unassailable 2-0 lead

<p>Just ahead of the Boxing Day Test between Australia and South Africa at the iconic MCG, Cricket Australia (CA) and Australian Cricket Association (ACA) in a joint-statement announced that Australia’s Men’s Test Player of the Year award will now be named in honour of the late Shane Warne. Just before the start of the play on Monday, both teams paid tribute to Warne, who passed away in March early this year due to a cardiac arrest.</p>

<p>Each year at CA’s Awards ceremony, Australia’s Test Player of the Year award is handed out while Allan Border medal for the best men’s international cricketer across formats alongside Belinda Clark medal for winners in women’s game are also awarded.</p>

<p>In remembrance of Shane Warne, players from both teams wore white floppy hats during their national anthems while fans were also encouraged to wear the same with zinc cream in tribute to the legendary cricketer.</p>

<p>Jackson, Share Warne’s son, who was also present there, told Fox Cricket, "The happiness outweighs the sadness tenfold. To see all the zinc cream on everyone's faces, to see everyone with the floppy hats is unbelievable.

To be also in front of the greatest man ever - in front of the Shane Warne stand - is just awesome."

Thinking of you on your birthday: Sachin Tendulkar pays heartfelt tribute to late Shane Warne

<p>Shane Warne bowled the 'Ball of the Century' to dismiss Mike Gatting&nbsp;during the 1990s Ashes. Talking about the delivery, it was pitched outside leg-stump but turned big-time to rattle the top of off-stump as England's Gatting was shellshocked, along with the spectators in the stands.</p>

<p>Warne's delivery, which can be termed as one of the biggest spinning deliveries of all time, remains a fan favourite and many still watch it on loop on Youtube and&nbsp;social media platforms. Recently, Pakistan's veteran spinner Yasir Shah replicated Warne's 'Ball of the Century' with an unplayable to dismiss Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis in the third and penultimate innings of the ongoing Galle Test between the two Asian giants.</p>

<p>Shane Warne passed away on March 04 to leave the whole cricketing fraternity in a state of shock. The 52-year-old was in Thailand on a personal trip where he breathed his last and left a huge void in world cricket with his sudden demise. Warne remains a legend of the gentlemen's game with 1,001 international wickets (708 Test and 293 ODI scalps).</p>

<p>According to the brief statement given to Fox News by Warne's&nbsp;management, he died due to a heart attack during his Thailand trip. "Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived," the statement read. "The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course," it added.</p>

<p>According to&nbsp;Warne's manager, James Erskine, the Australian was serving a strict 14-day liquid diet. The diet comprised&nbsp;just liquids and no food. According to reports, the legendary spinner sweated a lot more than usual in the week prior to his sudden departure.</p>

<p>“He did go on these ridiculous sorts of diets and he just finished one, where he basically only ate fluids for 14 days and he’d done these three or four times," news.com.au quoted Erskine as saying. He added, "It was a bit all or nothing. It was either white buns with butter and lasagne stuffed in the middle or he would be having black and green juices. He obviously smoked most of his life.

Explained: What is extreme liquid diet that late Shane Warne followed and how it affects the body

<p>Jos Buttler slammed a stunning century to power Rajasthan Royals (RR) to a comprehensive 7-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2nd Qualifier at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday (May 27). Buttler was the star with the bat for RR as he played an unbeaten knock of 106 runs off 60 balls to single-handed help his team chase down the target of 158 runs and secure a spot in the final against Gujarat Titans (GT).</p>

<p>The English opener has been in brilliant form throughout IPL 2022 and has played some match-winning knocks for his team. He continued his stellar run in the 2nd qualifier against RCB on Friday and notched up his fourth century of the season to go past the 800-run mark. Buttler paid tribute to the legendary Shane Warne after RR's win over RCB.</p>

<p>Remembering the former Rajasthan Royals captain, who passed away after a heart attack earlier this year, Buttler said he will be looking&nbsp;down from the heavens with a lot of pride after RR qualified for the final. Warne was the first player signed by RR ahead of the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2008 and is the only captain to have led the side to an IPL triumph.</p>

We will miss him dearly but we know he is looking down on us with a lot of pride today," Buttler told Star Sports after powering RR to a 7-wicket win over RCB.</p>

Jos Buttler slammed a stunning century to power Rajasthan Royals (RR) to a comprehensive 7-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2nd Qualifier at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday (May 27).

Jos Buttler slammed a stunning century to power Rajasthan Royals (RR) to a comprehensive 7-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2nd Qualifier at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday (May 27). Buttler was the star with the bat for RR as he played an unbeaten knock of 106 runs off 60 balls to single-handed help his team chase down the target of 158 runs and secure a spot in the final against Gujarat Titans (GT). The English opener has been in brilliant form throughout IPL 2022 and has played some match-winning knocks for his team. He continued his stellar run in the 2nd qualifier against RCB on Friday and notched up his fourth century of the season to go past the 800-run mark. Buttler paid tribute to the legendary Shane Warne after RR's win over RCB. Remembering the former Rajasthan Royals captain, who passed away after a heart attack earlier this year, Buttler said he will be looking down from the heavens with a lot of pride after RR qualified for the final. Warne was the first player signed by RR ahead of the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2008 and is the only captain to have led the side to an IPL triumph.

We will miss him dearly but we know he is looking down on us with a lot of pride today," Buttler told Star Sports after powering RR to a 7-wicket win over RCB.

<p>Every interaction with the late Shane Warne was a learning experience, according to India and RCB batter Virat Kohli, who felt the spin legend always had constructive conversations.</p>

Former Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting spoke to WION and paid tribute to the late Shane Warne. Cricket legend Warne had passed away on March 4.

Former Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting pays tribute to Shane Warne

<p>Shane Warne passed away early this month, to leave a huge void in the cricketing fraternity. The former Aussie spin wizard died due to a suspected heart attack in Thailand and his passing away left many shellshocked. During his illustrious international career, Warne returned with 708 Test wickets and 293 ODI scalps.</p>

<p>Apart from this, Warne also left his mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL), leading the Rajasthan Royals (RR) to the championship in the inaugural edition in 2008. Being a part of RR's victorious run, Shane Watson recalled his days under Warne's leadership and hailed him in Delhi Capitals' (DC) virtual press conference.</p>

<p>''The thing that stood out for me was that Rajasthan were written off because we didn't have big names as compared to the other teams. The advantage that Rajasthan had was the ability to pull the team together very quickly,'' DC's assistant coach Watson said.</p>

<p>He further opined, ''The incredible skill that Shane Warne had was seeing what people's roles were and then tapping into that role. For me, that was why he was an incredible leader, because he knew how to tap into a player's best version. He believed in the players, knew their skill set and where they fit in. For me, that's why Rajasthan did so well in the first season. He pulled all these from different cultures and different phases of their careers and led from the front."</p>

<p>On the other hand, Gujarat Titans' (GT) spin-bowling all-rounder Rashid Khan also shared his reaction to Warne's tragic and sudden demise. He said in a virtual presser,&nbsp;''It was a huge shock. I had a great time with him. It was a huge honour for me that he called me to the MCG to have that 15-minute session with him during the lunch (break) of the Australia-New Zealand match. I was so lucky, I learned so much from him. We had a discussion on how I can be more effective in a long format. He happily shared his experience with me.</p>

<p>''He shared those key points, the mindset, the skill set.' Only thing he said is that 'you don't need to change your speed or action, that is something unique you have, you just need to be consistent, need to be more patient. Sometimes you won't get a wicket, but that is the time you will be tested mentally and also physically. You have to fit in for those big games. I&nbsp;was looking forward to having him as head coach and playing with him, spending more time with him. That was a dream. We discussed that.

Shane Warne passed away early this month, to leave a huge void in the cricketing fraternity. The former Aussie spin wizard died due to a suspected heart attack in Thailand and his passing away left many shellshocked. During his illustrious international career, Warne returned with 708 Test wickets and 293 ODI scalps. Apart from this, Warne also left his mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL), leading the Rajasthan Royals (RR) to the championship in the inaugural edition in 2008. Being a part of RR's victorious run, Shane Watson recalled his days under Warne's leadership and hailed him in Delhi Capitals' (DC) virtual press conference.

The advantage that Rajasthan had was the ability to pull the team together very quickly,'' DC's assistant coach Watson said. He further opined, ''The incredible skill that Shane Warne had was seeing what people's roles were and then tapping into that role. For me, that was why he was an incredible leader, because he knew how to tap into a player's best version. He believed in the players, knew their skill set and where they fit in. For me, that's why Rajasthan did so well in the first season. He pulled all these from different cultures and different phases of their careers and led from the front."

He said in a virtual presser, ''It was a huge shock. I had a great time with him. It was a huge honour for me that he called me to the MCG to have that 15-minute session with him during the lunch (break) of the Australia-New Zealand match. I was so lucky, I learned so much from him. We had a discussion on how I can be more effective in a long format. He happily shared his experience with me. ''He shared those key points, the mindset, the skill set.' Only thing he said is that 'you don't need to change your speed or action, that is something unique you have, you just need to be consistent, need to be more patient. Sometimes you won't get a wicket, but that is the time you will be tested mentally and also physically. You have to fit in for those big games. I was looking forward to having him as head coach and playing with him, spending more time with him. That was a dream. We discussed that. He said hopefully we will be in a Hundred ball competition in the UK,'' Rashid added. Warne, at 52, has shattered many's hearts with his sudden demise. As a result, the whole of Victoria will get to pay its tributes to the spin wizard in Melbourne on March 30, 2022. It will be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Brunton Avenue, Richmond.

<p>Shane Warne passed away on March 04 (Friday), leaving a huge void in the cricketing fraternity. The 52-year-old was in Thailand on a personal trip when he breathed his last due to a suspected heart attack. As the world cricket is still trying to recover from the loss of one of their all-time greats, former Aussie wicketkeeper-batsman and Warne's ex-teammate Adam Gilchrist spilled the beans on his relationship with the leg spinner and his last chat with him.</p>

He always called me 'Churchy' and it always felt like a term of endearment from a friend," Gilchrist told ABC News.</p>

<p>"He messaged me saying, 'Church, wonderful tribute to Rod Marsh'. Which I was very honoured to do a voice over. We were not even close to coming to terms with the passing of my childhood hero in Rod Marsh and another legend of the cricket world. Warnie just messaged me and said 'well done on that sir'. So that was the last contact. It's a text message I will never delete."</p>

<p>Warne and Gilchrist were two of Australia's mainstays, across formats, during the Men in Yellow's golden run from late 1990s to mid-2000s. The duo was part of Australia's 1999 ODI World Cup win, Ashes dominance and many other such memorable victories.</p>

Legendary cricketer Shane Warne's body flown back to Australia

<p>India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has condoled the demise of Shane Warne, saying the Australian brought spin as an attacking commodity to this cricketing world.</p>

<p>Warne passed away on Friday aged 52 due to a suspected heart attack.</p>

<p>"I see Warne as a flag-bearer for carrying the spin aspect of bowling on the front in the world cricketing map. The top three wicket-takers in the world are spinners in Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble. He was an interesting character. So many Australian legends had so many nice things to say about him. I still can't accept the fact that life is so fickle. We cannot predict what can happen," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.</p>

Shane Warne brought spin as attacking commodity to cricketing world, says Indian offie R Ashwin

<p>Shane Warne's death has left a huge void in the cricketing fraternity. Warne passed away due to a suspected heart attack on Friday evening (March 04) in Thailand. The former Aussie spinner was a big name in world cricket even after his international retirement.</p>

<p>Warne ended his glittering international career with as many as 1,001 wickets -- 708 in Tests and 293 in ODIs -- apart from having a Test hat-trick and being a World Cup-medallist (in 1999 when he was the Player-of-the-Match in the summit clash). Thus, the 52-year-old spinner revived legspin and also showcased tremendous character and grit on and off the field to overcome various obstacles.</p>

<p>Sharing an unheard story of Warne, Team India's wily off-spinner R Ashwin recently revealed how the Aussie great had developed strong shoulders after breaking his legs. Warnie had narrated the whole incident to Rahul Dravid, who shared it with Ashwin.</p>

<p>Sharing the story on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said, “I was talking to Rahul Dravid who was extremely sad. For a spinner, your shoulder and upper half of the body has to be extremely strong because you have to use many rotations to spin the ball. Because for a spinner to master your craft, you should keep bowling in the nets. More so, if you are a leg-spinner. He had strong shoulders and that was his massive advantage.</p>

<p>"It seems Rahul Bhai asked him, 'How do you have such strong shoulders? What do you do?' It is such a unique story. There is a sport called 'Aussies Rules Football'. It is a sport like Rugby. It seems he wanted to play the sport but was not built for it since people who play it are tall and well-built blokes," he revealed.</p>

<p>"For 3-4 weeks he walked or rather floated using his bare hands and those made his shoulders strong and there was no looking back. That's what he has told Rahul Bhai. We all face obstacles in life, but look how Warne converted it as his success formula," Ashwin further added.</p>

<p>Talking about Ashwin, the 35-year-old spinner became India's second-highest wicket-taker (436) during India's massive win over Sri Lanka in the first Test in Mohali, on March 06 (Sunday). He is now at the ninth-spot, overall, with the list spearheaded by Muttiah Muralitharan (800) and Warne (708) at the second spot.</p>

The 52-year-old former Aussie spin wizard breathed his last on Friday evening (March 04) as he passed away due to a heart attack in Thailand. After his shocking demise, the members of the cricketing fraternity have shared stories of Warne from both on and off the field.</p>

<p>During his illustrious 15-year-long international career for Australia, Warne made a huge mark with his leg spin. As a result, he ended with 708 Test and 293 ODI wickets (1,001 scalps overall). He had some fierce rivalry with many greats of the gentlemen's game, including Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. The two faced each other in 29 matches at the international level where their face-off was riveting, say the least. Warne dismissed Tendulkar on four occasions whereas the latter also smacked him all around the park during many of his memorable knocks versus Australia.</p>

<p>Nonetheless, Warne and Tendulkar shared a great camaraderie off the 22-yard cricket strip. In the Amazon Prime Video documentary 'Shane', Warne revealed that he got along really well with him and they were great mates.&nbsp;</p>
