Spin legend Shane Warne passes away at 52

Australia cricket great Shane Warne, widely regarded as the greatest leg-spinner of all time, has died aged 52, according to a statement issued by his management company. "Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived," the statement said. It comes just hours after the death was announced of fellow Australian great Rod Marsh, one of the game's outstanding wicketkeepers.
