Shane Warne Funeral – Australian Cricket Legends at Shane Warne’s Funeral: The list of former Australian cricketers in attendance included Ian Healey, Glenn McGrath, Michael Clark, Allan Border, Mark Taylor, Merv Hughes and Mark Waugh. England’s Michael Vaughan had also travelled for the event.

“The reason why he was so loved is because he was fallible, he was Superman. You threw the ball to Warne, you sat in that Southern Stand and he did the things you dreamt of doing as a kid.
“He had the hat trick, took 700 wickets, the Gatting ball, he did everything.
“He did the things like wow, I wonder what it would be like to be a playboy in London society.”
“The magic part about Shane Warne was that he sprinkled his gold dust everywhere he went,” McGuire added. “He didn’t become a hermit, he brought his friends into everything in life.”
