  1. Shane Warne was so highly regarded outside Australia that soon after condolences have been passed on from the UK from : Boris Johnson prime Minister Mick Jagger Ed Sheeran Elton John Some of the ones I have heard on the news so far as well as just about everyone in Australia. Highly regarded in India and Pakistan and every other cricket playing countries.

  3. Some Australian cricket players were also exceptional playing local baseball. The Australian previous national team cricket captain Ian Chappell comes to mind. His grandfather Vic Richardson was the same and at the top level of about seven sports locally.
