Shane Warne's State Memorial to be Held at MCG on 30 March
The Quint"There's nowhere in the world more appropriate to farewell Warnie than the 'G'. Victorians will be able to pay tribute to Shane and his contribution our state, and his sport, at a memorial service at the MCG on the evening of March 30th," said Andrews in a tweet. Notably, the MCG was the stage of the legspinner's famous Ashes hat-trick in 1994 and the 700th Test wicket on Boxing Day in 2006, his final series before he retired from international cricket. Meanwhile, Warne's family in a statement opened up on their "never-ending nightmare" since he passed away. "To find words to adequately express our sadness is an impossible task for us and looking to a future without Shane is inconceivable, hopefully the mountain of happy memories we all have will help us cope with our ongoing grief," the statement read.
