Shane Warne Passes Away: Glenn Maxwell breaks down in gut-wrenching interview, says, ‘He got me to the Stars’

“Warnie actually got me to the Stars. Sorry … um. Yeah, we had a really good relationship. Just broken.”

“I was actually lucky enough to play my second ever grade game against Warnie,” he said.

“I was about 16 or 17 and thought I was fortunate then. But to get to play with him at the Stars and post his career, become good friends off the field and sort of be a part of his inner sanctum … it’s a hard morning.”

Maxwell praised the generosity of spirit of his great friend.

“He was a pretty life-loving person,” he said. “You’d be hard-pressed to find a more caring, loyal, generous person than him. He gave his time to pretty much every cricketer that came through. He saw every leg spinner that was playing international cricket, state cricket when he was commentating, he’d be out there helping them out.

“That was just the sort of person he was, he just gave his time so generously. He found a way to, he inspired multiple generations of players wanting to be Shane Warne. That’s the legacy he’s going to leave.”

Besides joining Warne at Melbourne Stars, Maxwell was coached by the legendary legspinner in England’s The Hundred competition last year.

Maxwell continued: “He was (fun to be around). He was just so knowledgeable and so caring and friendly. Happy to give back.”

“As far as Australian cricket goes, we’ve lost someone with immeasurable knowledge of the game, someone that’s going to be dearly missed.”

A choked-up Maxwell added: “I went around and saw Finchy this morning … I only woke up to the news this morning. It’s been a tough morning.”

“I just want to send my whole love to (Shane’s family),” he concluded.
