Adieu Warne, McGrath...
It is already a week since Warne and McGrath played their last days of Test cricket for Australia. Australia has always had replacements ready for most players who are either out of form or about to retire. We thought Bevan can never be replaced, but they hardly seem to miss him from the outfit with the introduction of the ever-flexible Mike Hussey. In fact we did not think it was possible to replace even Ian Healy, but they got an even better deal with Gilchrist. They always seem to have someone ready. But I believe it is difficult even for Australia to find someone to fill up Warne's shoes.
He was a total entertainer with his magical wrist and a true Aussie attitude. He might not be a role model, but do you think he wanted to be one? I don't think so. He lived life his way and I bet he has no regrets about it.
However you look at it, he will always be remembered as one of the greatest bowlers of all time, if not the greatest.

Thank you Shane!
