Warnie. Just Warnie. It is customary at a time so sombre, serious and upsetting
to put it more formally: Shane Keith Warne, Australian cricket hero, is dead at
52.

But right now, as fans reel from the news, it is impossible to avoid conjuring
images of Warne that are not sombre and serious at all. How could a "Warnie"
moment ever be sombre and serious?

He's windmilling his bowling arm after taking a wicket. He's dancing on the
balcony with a stump over his head. He's sending that perfect leg-break past a
flummoxed Mike Gatting — the ball of that century, and probably all others —
launching himself from the status of budding star to immortal in one flick of
the wrist.

never sombre.(Getty Images/Allsport: Clive Mason)

He's lifting David Boon into the air at the MCG, celebrating a hat-trick in
front of his home crowd, as Tony Greig loses his mind with delight. He's sitting
sheepishly in front of a sponsor's backdrop issuing an apology — so many
apologies, so many sins forgiven in the name of a talent nobody else possessed.

He's standing with Michael Jordan or Michael Hutchence, finally in the company
of someone who understands what it's like to be so famous and adored but also
torn down and disgraced, transcending the thing they do and becoming something
else entirely — something beyond their control.

He's cavorting — was Warnie the last great cavorter? — around a hotel room in
grainy black and white, embroiling himself in scandal. He's on 99 against New
Zealand, skying one into the deep, the captivation of those present extending to
the umpire, who misses the no-ball that he should have called.

He's sitting in a commentary box telling the story about the shot above — not
the shot, so much, but the no-ball, because he's spent his entire life
cultivating a larrikin image but moments like this still grate 20, 30 years on,
and in his mind he's still there, on the field, the star of all stars, but also
an incorrigible little boy who doesn't want to stop batting and never wants to
grow up.

triumph.(Allsport: Stuart Milligan)

He's doubled over laughing, talking about pizza or Happy Days or Rod Stewart —
anything other than the game itself, and you kinda want to throttle him, but
then you think about moments like the one that comes next.

He's leaning over the balcony at Lord's, the pride of a nation, hooting and
hollering, the 1999 World Cup trophy wrapped up in a bear hug, and you know that
Australia probably wouldn't have won it without the man who put it all on the
line, attacking every cricket contest the same way he attacked life.

Shane Warne: The full 7.30 interview

And now you struggle to process that he's gone — too soon, in a foreign land, in
circumstances that shock you. But perhaps it was bound to happen in a way that
would shock you. Perhaps it had to happen before you were ready, before you
could wrap your head around what it would be like to lose a man who spent his
entire public life shocking you.

So, Warnie will do. Just Warnie.


THE MAKINGS OF A CHAMPION

Shane Keith Warne was born on September 13, 1969, in Upper Ferntree Gully, but
the Melbourne bayside suburbs of Hampton, Black Rock and Brighton were those
Warne considered his home. He was the first son of Brigitte and Keith and an
older brother to Jason.

Warne came from no notable cricketing stock. His German-born mother was not
steeped in the game. His father only took it up in his 40s, to spend time with
his boys at East Sandringham Boys Cricket Club.

In the decades following, armchair psychoanalysts would look to Warne's
childhood for explanations of the outrageous character that shambled his way
across the front pages of tabloids. Most found a happy-go-lucky beach bum from a
household filled with love, support and forgiveness.

Perhaps, though, we find in his early biography the ingredients of his Peter Pan
routine of the past decade — all that talk of World Series Cricket, mixed
lollies and bygone TV characters. Was he simply frozen in the carefree idyll his
indulgent parents had nurtured him in? There are worse places to be.


Shane Warne was not a natural leg-spinner, and initially bowled pace growing
up.(Getty Images)

There were three other things that shaped the youthful Warne. The first was that
his teenage stomping ground offered a thriving social scene. The second was a
sporting scholarship to Mentone Grammar, where Warne's talents at Australian
Rules Football and cricket would take precedence over academics.

The third — something that Warne applied increasing significance to as his
career progressed — was an accident of his early youth that broke both legs,
leading to a year in a cart that required Warne to push himself around. He
became convinced the upper body strength he developed in those times went some
way towards the magic he later produced with a cricket ball in hand.

Yet he was not a natural leg-spinner. Adopting Dennis Lillee as his spirit
animal, Warne initially bowled fast and hit hard. One might conclude that the
swagger and in-your-face aggression of the fast bowler remained with Warne
throughout his career, making him that rare spinner who could intimidate a
batsman out of his wicket.

For some reason — and Warne himself could never figure out why — he stuck with
the leggies, but a football career was his truer aim. His idols were bayside
luminaries Trevor Barker and Dermott Brereton, peroxide-blond superstars who'd
fly over packs for eye-catching marks and dominate the nightclub circuit
afterwards.

In the late 1980s, Warne was brought into the fold at Barker's club St Kilda,
kicking a promising volume of goals in the Under-19s. Promoted to the Reserves,
matched against men, he came unstuck. Club honchos thought he was too fat and
slow. The club cut him loose and the disappointment stung.

living than play cricket.(Getty Images: Quinn Rooney)

Till his last days, Warne admitted he would rather have been a
premiership-winning centre half-forward than a spin wizard. But it turned out
that the chunky legs and broad chest that weighed him down on a football field
were well suited to the short bursts of strength and velocity required of a good
spinner.


THE RISE TO THE TOP

Still, even the captaincy of Mentone's first XI and his early forays into
Melbourne district cricket did not suggest a superstar. Nor did his arrival home
from a cricketing gap year in England's Lancashire League, on which he piled on
so much weight that his parents barely recognised him at airport pick-up time.


Shane Warne often rubbed up against the system.(Getty Images)

Warne was 20 when he debuted in the first XI at St Kilda Cricket Club, then and
now a feared stalwart of the Victorian district cricket competition and a
breeding ground for many Test players. For Warne, the wickets wouldn't come. But
there was a necessary slice of luck. Former Test spinner Jim Higgs spotted Warne
wheeling away in the nets in 1989 and recommended him to Jack Potter, inaugural
coach of the nascent AIS Cricket Academy.

In April 1990, Warne arrived in typical style: academy colleagues Justin Langer
and Damien Martyn spotted him taking down a family-sized pizza and a can of VB.
Warne's eventual expulsion seems inevitable in hindsight. He would always chafe
at the system. But Potter had time enough to teach him his lethal flipper — a
key addition to the bag of tricks that eventually shook the cricket world.

More importantly, it was the period in which Warne hooked up with Terry Jenner,
a former Test leg-spinner who'd fallen on hard times, serving 18 months in jail
for embezzlement. It didn't bother Warne, who sensed a kindred spirit. Jenner
became his spin whisperer, and their fortunes rose in tandem.

In the 1990-91 Sheffield Shield season, Warne was nothing grander than a
speculative selection for Victoria. He took only one wicket on debut, but in
barren times for local spinners, he showed enough trickery to be selected for an
'Australia B' tour of Zimbabwe at season's end.

A seven-wicket haul on that tour and an impressive showing in a tour match
against the West Indies the following summer foreshadowed his shock inclusion
for the Sydney Test against India in January of 1992, with only seven
first-class appearances behind him.

record-breaking career that would develop.(Getty Images)

It was a story to which Warne would return repeatedly: the chubby,
peroxide-mulleted nobody being belted around the SCG by Ravi Shastri; the
unimposing debut figures of 1-150 from 45 overs. But he was on his way.


'THE BALL OF THE CENTURY'

The Ashes tour of 1993 is rightly regarded as ground zero for the cult of Warne,
but there were two previous performances that signalled Australia's spin project
might come off.

Brisbane.(Allsport: Ben Radford)

The first came on a largely forgotten tour of Sri Lanka the year before, when
Warne confronted the likelihood of being written off and tossed into obscurity.
His 0-107 in the first innings of the Colombo Test suggested he wasn't up to it.
But with the game slipping from Australia's grasp in the fourth innings, Allan
Border threw the ball to Warne and his uncanny spell produced three wickets
without a run. Australia snuck home by 16 runs.

Likewise, Warne's match-winning 7-52 against the West Indies at Melbourne the
following summer virtually ended the international careers of his key rivals for
the spin slot. He'd secured his place for the England trip and Border knew he
had something special on his hands.

The funny thing about what followed was that England didn't even plan for it.
Held back from the one-day international preliminaries, instructed by Border not
to deploy his full arsenal in tour games, Warne was considered by England to be
out of the selection frame for the first Test at Old Trafford.

Instead, he used his first delivery to baffle his opponent, tilt the momentum of
the series irreversibly in favour of Australia, and cause a mini-revolution in
the game.

"Gatting has absolutely no idea what has happened to it," said Richie Benaud,
and — as the shocked batsman departed the scene shaking his head — "still
doesn't know."

Gatting.(EMPICS/Getty Images: Rui Vieira)

When that perfect leg-break fizzed past Gatting and took the bails, the dying
art of leg-spin became the most captivating spectacle in the game. Or more
accurately, Warne did. Perhaps, with time, and thanks to the many unpleasant
distractions he created, we brushed aside the sporting magic show he gifted us
for the 15 years following.

delivery.(PA Images/Getty Images)

There was no sight in sport like the Shane Warne Show — the sense of
anticipation as he removed his cap, adjusted his shirt sleeve and shaped to
bowl, the change in the game's mood, the adjustment of the batsman's body
language, the whirring of the ball as it arced through the air, the ridiculous
angles of the spin he extracted on pitches around the world.

How it must have delighted Benaud, a past master of the craft. His commentary of
Warne's most famous moment held true thereafter: batsmen simply didn't know what
had happened to them.


THE MANY CRICKET LIVES OF SHANE WARNE

The statistics don't go close to telling the story of the career, but they
remain compelling: 708 Test wickets at 25.71, 293 at the same cost in one-day
internationals and a similar average in first-class, List A and T20 ranks.
Wherever Warne went, he took wickets. When a game was on the line, he was the
man his captain looked to.

pre-internet era.(Allsport: Ben Radford)

His fame, bridging the pre- and post-internet eras, is now hard to
contextualise, but nary a month passed when he didn't make for front-page
stories. Nike swooped with an endorsement deal, confirming Warne's international
celebrity. The TV cameras loved him. He was a journalist's dream, forever doing
something noteworthy.

In time, Warne was the subject of documentaries, a musical and a dozen books —
at least four of them his own, though he variously claimed never to have read a
book or to have read only one, about UFOs.

The fame might have been distracting, but the one consistent aspect of Warne's
celebrity package was his performances in Australian colours. His playing career
can be split into four phases.


The pressure of being Australia's go-to man in a pinch put enormous strain on
Warne's body.(Getty Images: Hamish Blair)

The first took place between 1993 and 1998, when he burst onto the scene, took
all before him and claimed his first 300 Test wickets — the second Australian to
do so after his hero Lillee. It was the time of effortlessly wrecking English
fortunes, toying with Daryll Cullinan and making even the world's best batsmen
look foolish.

The main problem in that phase was physical — so often was Warne called upon to
save Australia's day, putting extraordinary strains on his body, he began
suffering the host of painful injuries that would eventually threaten his
career.

international cricket.(Getty Images/PA Images: John Giles)

The second phase might be sub-titled "scandal and disgrace". Between 1998, when
Warne and Mark Waugh were embroiled in the "John the Bookie" affair, and 2004,
when he returned from a one-year drug ban whose blame was sheeted home to Mum's
diet pills, Warne was still a match-winner, but he could also be a one-man
disaster zone.

Bookie' affair.(Getty Images/PA Images: Ben Curtis)

In that period, infidelity cost Warne his marriage and injuries scrapped entire
summers; the seeds of the drug ban, one might say, could be found in his
desperate attempts to lose weight and heal the chronic shoulder injuries that
robbed the sport of its greatest star and robbed Warne of the outlet for
attention-hogging talent.

The third phase came when he returned from his drug ban in 2004. At 35, in elite
cricket terms, he was on borrowed time. Remarkably, between then and his
fairytale retirement after the 2006-07 Ashes, Warne took hundreds of wickets,
moving past the 500, 600 then 700 Test wicket milestones. It redeemed him and
fans soaked up one of the great late-career sprees.

A shining example of that twilight brilliance came in the generation-defining
2005 Ashes, which were lost by Australia. Given his advancing age and the chaos
of his private life at that point, Warne's 40 wickets at 19 remains an
astonishing feat. Against England, he always rose to the occasion, but it was
not a relationship of antagonism — he was a star there too, for Australia and
Hampshire.

Warne often talked of his "script writer", a cliche to be sure, but also a
measure of his wonderment that his life could so often veer away from disaster
to glory. His final milestone was a case in point: his 700th wicket came five
days after he announced his retirement, falling in front of his adoring home
crowd in Melbourne. The atmosphere was overwhelming.

The final phase, between then and 2013, was Warne's globetrotting stint as a T20
specialist, for the Rajasthan Royals of the IPL and the Melbourne Stars in the
Big Bash. If nothing else, it meant his career had spanned three decades,
allowing another generation to say they'd seen a little of Warne's magic in the
flesh.

For all of this, numerous honours flowed: he was one of Wisden's five cricketers
of the century; he was entered into the ICC Hall of Fame. On honour boards
around the cricket world, his name appears in gold leaf. But just as Warne was
never one for stuffy traditions — in aid of charity, he sold his baggy green cap
— his appeal to fans transcended statistics and trophies.

of Fame member.(Reuters: Ferran Paredes)

He was loved instead for the drama and flair he brought to everything he did —
the showmanship, the moments of sublime inspiration, his knockabout ideals and
his sheer outrageousness that endeared him to millions. Australian cricket will
always have its superstars, but there might never be another as starry as Warne.


THE MAN, THE MYTH

The difficulty now is processing the many conflicting emotions engendered by
Warne. Like few cricket champions before, he was adored for what he did on the
field and lampooned for what he did, and said, off it. Public opinion of him
turned most dramatically on the public persona he fashioned in his post-playing
years — a hybrid of Hugh Hefner, Warwick Capper and Tony Greig.

MCG.(AAP: Julian Smith)

As a commentator, Warne could be like a jackhammer, endlessly pursuing a narrow
range of targets, refusing to budge from his positions. This was the
bloody-mindedness that made him such an unflappable cricketer — "This is the
way…", "Give me the ball…", "I'll show you…" Most informed fans would happily
spend hours listening to him talk leg-spin. On most other topics, not so much.

But even there, you couldn't help but laugh at the eternal boy — the enthusiasm
bordering on hyperactivity, the way he'd jump the gun with audacious predictions
that didn't come off, his guileless tendency to tell embarrassing stories about
himself, the Advanced Hair, the fake tan, his childish food fetishes, or the
infamous Warnie mural.

At those times, he hinted at one persona the public couldn't fully appreciate:
the daggy dad. Warne was many things, not all of them palatable, but his love
for his children was obvious and endearing. Their lives seemed like his second
childhood. Their loss of a doting father transcends anything felt today by
cricket fans.

But cricket fans will shed many tears, make no doubt. For the game, the loss of
Warne is like the sudden disappearance of a planet. It hits us with shocking
prematurity. The highlight reel rolls through our minds, and we find ourselves
forgiving him his quirks and excesses, maybe wishing there were a few more of
them to play out.

fans.(Getty Images: Hamish Blair)

Those are the moments we can now only imagine.

Maybe he's reluctantly gone grey, calling himself a "silver fox". He's wearing a
Hefner-style bathrobe on some social media platform not yet invented — his
grandkids got him onto it. He's doing adverts for a different kind of tablet,
and you're laughing at him, sure, but you're still laughing, which is not the
worst thing.

But even then, you're thinking of the past, too, remembering why you loved him
in the first place. He's sending the ball on that iconic flight path — the one
that is burnt into your mind, as familiar as a rainbow's arc. He's smiling
devilishly, his lips covered in zinc. You know and he knows he's two steps ahead
of the batsman, about to break through. He's bustling his way into that classic
delivery stride that precedes so many other magical moments.

And you just know that he's going to take a wicket.

Because he's Warnie. Just Warnie.
