Shane Warne’s last post on social media was earlier in the day when he had put up a post on the death of Rod Marsh. The cricket fraternity indeed lost two gems of the sport in one day.
Sad to hear the news that Rod Marsh has passed. He was a legend of our great game & an inspiration to so many young boys & girls. Rod cared deeply about cricket & gave so much-especially to Australia & England players. Sending lots & lots of love to Ros & the family. RIP mate❤️
