Ex-Australia captain Ricky Ponting says he is now obligated to teach the lessons of legendary spinner Shane Warne to the next generation because Warne died too soon.
“He was a good teacher through his comments, and I’ve seen a lot of photos of the spinners he worked with over the last 24 hours. During his younger years, he helped Steve Smith, and Rashid Khan got to know him. You can imagine how they would have talked about everything. To tell the world what he was like and pass on some of the things I learned from him whenever I can is now my job. “Ponting said that on the ICC Review.

“I woke up early and was getting the kids ready for netball. Rianna, Ponting’s wife, looked at her phone and told me about Warney’s death. My friend gave me her cell phone to look at, and I couldn’t believe it. It is still the same now. Because it was so close to my heart, I couldn’t speak, and every time I thought about him, I was short of words, “he said more.
What would you want to say to Warne? When Ponting was asked this question, he said: “I’d say how much I love him. Because I didn’t, I wish I had.”
Even though Warne died, Ponting talked about the good times with the leg spinner.
He said he was impressed by some of the leg spinner’s friends, and he also paid tribute to how he was.
“If you spent a day with him, it was cool to see some of the names on his phone. The last time Warne was at home, it was very unusual for her just to be sitting around the house. The best thing about him was that he always tried to make time for his friends and family. “Ponting said that.
“The more people talk about Shane, the more people will notice how loyal he was to family and friends and how much he was loved. There aren’t many people like him because he had the energy that made you want to be with him, “he said more.
Many people think Warne was one of the essential cricketers in history. In the early 1990s, he almost single-handedly changed how leg-spin bowling worked.
By the time he retired from international cricket in 2007, he had become the first bowler to take 700 wickets in Test cricket.
This is what people say about him.
Shane was a big part of Australia’s victory in the ICC Cricket World Cup in 1999 when he was a player of the match in both the semi-final and the final.
Because of his achievements, Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack named him one of its Five Cricketers of the Twentieth Century.
