Brooke Warne, the eldest of Shane Warne’s three children, shared a poignant message on the second anniversary of her father’s passing.
The cricketing world mourned the loss of the Australian legend on March 4, 2022, as Shane Warne bid farewell at the age of 52 in a hotel room in Thailand. Known not only for his cricketing prowess but also for his charismatic personality, Warne’s untimely demise left a void in the hearts of many.
On the same day, former Australian wicketkeeper Rodney Marsh also passed away, adding to the somber atmosphere in the cricketing community.
In her heartfelt social media post, Brooke Warne expressed the emotional turmoil she had endured over the past 24 months since her father’s passing. She reminisced about cherished moments spent watching the British period crime drama series “Peaky Blinders” with her father, reflecting on the bond they shared.
“2 years today Dad. It’s been the slowest and quickest 2 years without you. I feel like you were just here being silly with us and talking about how good the new season of Peaky Blinders is, and we will watch the next episode together when you come home. Life doesn’t make sense without you here. We try and make you proud every day. I miss you, I love you forever,” she wrote.
Shane Warne, renowned for his ‘ball of the century’ in the Ashes at Old Trafford, transcended his sport and remained a prominent figure even after retiring. His unorthodox bowling style and magical deliveries, including the googly and leg-breaker, solidified his status as one of cricket’s all-time greats.
Hailing from Victoria, Warne made his debut for the Australian team in 1992, marking the beginning of a remarkable career that spanned nearly two decades. Throughout his illustrious journey, he shattered numerous individual records and led Australia to multiple major trophies, leaving an indelible mark on the sport of cricket.
