The greatest umpire paying tribute to the greatest spin bowler.
RIP Shane!
From an Englishman.
🇦🇺
Cheers mate! Respect from oz🤟
I would sat greatest cricketer in my lifetime. God bless warnie 🙌
🏏 RIP Warnie. My imogee looks like an inside edge ! ❤
🦘❤️🙏
WELL SAID BOB 👍
I met Shane in 2002 when I took a large group of profoundly disadvantaged kids to a cricket workshop in Sydney. I only spoke to Shane for a minute. Shane was focused on the kids and not really interested in talking to me. I remember him as being a very nice person and he was so great with the children. The kids that I had in my charge that day reflected fondly on the event for years. A real shame that Shane has passed. 5 years younger than me and way to young to pass away. He was a real gentleman, and showed very real and genuine interest in the welfare of those kids.
His family should be very proud of him. I am sure they are.
I have never felt this devastated about the passing of a retired sportsman. It comes as a complete shock. RIP Warnie, you'll be forever in our hearts.
I’m with ya....this passing is, for me, really sad and much more emotional than I actually realise.
he was fully jabbed up with a booster..so no real shock he has died from a heart attack
@@strawberryfieldsforever3308 So are billions of other people. Stop with the anti vax shit. That has nothing to do with Shane Warne's passing.
@@gustaaf1892 to be anti vax there has to be a vax to be anti of..there isnt'..there are some experimental injections but no vax...sorry to burst your bubble.
@@strawberryfieldsforever3308 As I said, fark off with your anti vax BS. Go find another thread to become a pest. This about Shane Warne, not your conspiracy theories. Sorry to burst your bubble, or should that be your tiny right wing brain?
I feel privileged to have seen Shane Warne play live, and even briefly met him to get his autograph. The GOAT leg spinner.
Not just the goat leg spinner but the goat bowler
Thanks Dickie for Your Tribute to Warney and Commenting on his Great Slips Catching. In a Cordon off Taylor,M.Waugh,Warne and S.Waugh.Nothing got thru that lot. RIP Warney. The best. Go saints.🏏🃏💷
@@georgeowston3523 that’s very debatable. He’s top 3 for sure though.
Never understood people wanting autographs. Such a bizarre behaviour.
Great cricket player, just a horrible man
It’s really appropriate that a legendary umpire such as Harold “Dickie” Bird gives his thoughts and views of the greatest spin bowler of all time, Shane Warne, especially considering that he witnessed first hand, the “ball of the century”.
RIP Shane, you will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.
On a happier note, it is heartwarming to see the greatest and possibly the most loved umpire of all time, we adore you Dickie!
Greatest and fair umpire of all time.
Fantastic tribute to Shane Warne.
Thanks for bringing in the greatest umpire Mr "Dickie" Bird.
The passing of a another Aussie legend, a shock to everyone who follows cricket.RIP Warnie.🇦🇺🇦🇺
Absolutely fitting to have the GOAT Umpire speak about the GOAT spin bowler.
RIP Warne
GOAT GREATEST OF ALL TIME!????
@@joannemurdock7899 Yes Ma'am.
Dickie is the best... Shane will be missed greatly.
absolutely speechless...52...no age at all....REST IN PEACE....
Dickie and Warney, legends of cricket. Warne was one of the all-time greats and it was a privilege to have watched him, from an Englishman.
Rod Marsh yesterday and today Shane Warne gone now. Two of the best in cricket and big loss for us aussies and cricket fans of the world. RIP Rod and Shane. ❤️
Absolutely loved Dickie! A legend at the other end. Lovely memories of such a highly respected spin bowler being our Shane.😢👍🏼🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧
RIP Shane Warne. I am glad & great to see Dickie Bird after a long time that too off the field, great cricketing umpire.
RIP Rodney Marsh 😔🇦🇺🏏
RIP Shane Warne 😔🇦🇺🏏
💔🕊🏏🍻⚰
RIP Shane Warne ...Feel good to see Dickie Bird , a man of Radio Commentary era .
Great tribute from a great umpire to the great Shane Warne .
Thankyou GB news for bringing us Dickie Bird and for this piece on the brilliant Warnee..
A lot of people say that ball drifted, however, Dickie of course is so right the ball swerved
It drifted, it swerved, it turned, it jagged, it went straight on...and he didn't try to hide it.
@@NxDoyle I wasn’t there but I watched it live and I remember it. When you watch something for the first time, something different, something so outrageously different and incredible it is hard to fathom. That is how great that delivery from Shane Warne was. The speed of the ball was greater than that of other “spinners”. In fact it seems wrong to call Shane Warne a spinner. I don’t think he was a spinner, he was so so much more than that. Shane Warne at his absolute peak encapsulated so much more than simply being a spin bowler. It was in essence everything and yes you’re right he didn’t try to hide it.
Warne that’s hard to take rip true legend of your sport.Sleep easy thanks for the memories😢
I was shocked to know that Shane warne is no more. He was a champion leg spinner. A nightmare for the great batsmen of the world cricket. RIP Warne
If the great Dickie Bird says he is the best then he is the best! RIP Shane and thank you for the memories.
I was living in Sri Lanka at the time running a small factory, Shane called me up mid tour asking if I could make a few photo frames for his wife, I said no problem and we spent the next 15 minutes chatting about the series against Sri Lanka. A really nice guy, super famous, but as down to earth as you'll ever find.
dickie bird. the greatest umpire ever. loved watching him umpire as a teenager in the 90s
He was a teenager in the 90s?
@@kenrehill8775 he's aged a lot from 90s to now. he's had a hard life.
The Leg Spin Wizard of OZ, Shane Warne. R.I.P., Leg Spin Bowling. The greatest ever spin maestro to have graced the game. Never before. Never again. My heartfelt condolences to his family and legion of fans across the cricketing globe. Om shanti. 🙏🙏🙏
Many people reflect on the surprised reaction of Mike Gatting after being bowled by the so-callled 'ball of the century.' But for me, the look on the great Dickie Bird's face was inconspicuously priceless. Wonderful interview with a absolute gentleman.
So lovely to see the great Dickie Bird again ❤️🇦🇺
Only 52... a reminder that we are all just passing through this sad vale of tears, but people like Warney at least give us a bit of fun and colour along the way. RIP
Nice words. Very true.
Dickie bird...after a long time...came back to umpiring sir...
people need to remember that rod marsh died on the same day and in my era he was a great
It was a tremendous previledge that I was watching him play with energy ....
Amazing person of all time ..sad we lost him😭😥💔
Warnie, one of the greats, will be sorely missed, Dickie probably the greatest Umpire , shame the interviewer kept interrupting him early in the interview. When Dickie speaks, my advice is you listen.
Well, Dickie was active in the days before DRS so we'll never know how good he was. He's certainly the most recognisable. He was known for being a 'not outer' so he'd be popular among batsmen.
@@jshaers96 Benefit of the doubt should go to the batsman is the well quoted phrase. He had the respect of both bowlers & batters alike, which is a good indication that was on, or around, the mark.
What a great privilege to hear the wonderful Dickie Bird paying tribute to Shane Warne in the way he has. Perhaps Shane is the greatest spin bowler to ever play the game but one thing is for sure, he would never admit that himself. Farewell Warnie, and all the best to Umpire Bird.
Good on You Dickie Bird, a Great Umpire.
Shane Warne Gone Too Soon.
Great to see Dickie Bird so mentally agile and alert even at this age 👴👏
Live in Western Australia but originally from Sussex. Just a terrible terrible loss. Loved him. Gave cricket the lift into the modern world and made it more attractive to all people. A real one off
Vaccine?
Exactly my thoughts
@@craigchurch63 because lately all dropping like flies.
No, absolutely not! totally impossible... didnt you hear? "Totally safe and effective"
SW was double spiked , and had covid in Sept last year . Expect the latter to be blamed with zero mention of the former.
@@ryszard68 also the booster.... "Every additional shot you take is like playing Russian Roulette" - Prof Sukharit Bhakdi, 2020
Great to see Dickie, another legend. As an ex-wkeeper i can assure everyone that being behind the stumps to Warne would be the pinnacle of wicket keeping. Can be tough against a club leg spinner coz they have far less control, but against Warne over 5 days, then years of test matches it would be ridiculously hard to not look like an absolute goose many many times, and then have embarassing mistakes immortalised on video forever. Ian Healy and later Gilchrist must have worked so hard to make it look relatively easy working with Warne. You need to read it from his hand plus all the signals he'd give you, and to be unsighted when pitching on leg stump or wider and relying only upon instinct to judge how much spin it would take. Some of his deliveries would grip and rip and others bounce or scoot thru low....plus that amazing drift thru the air he got that could get any batsman start to play it down the wrong line. The two greatest w/keepers i've seen were Knott and Healy. Equally superb. RIP the greatest spinner ever seen. He had an aura about him. A true Cricket God.
So sad. Shane looked so young, fit and active He was great to watch. Rest In Peace Shane.
I am Aussie and we will miss Shane tremendously but I have to say Dickie is one of the greatest umpires to ever be at the crease, both are legends in this Aussie's eyes. Sending our love to Shane's wife Ros and his kids. We will miss ya Warnie.
Like everyone is saying us Aussie's thought highly of Dickie Bird . 🏏
Alan Border once had cause to be critical of him and refused to be drawn. He said he had too much respect
@@hugohugo2832 Like Mark Geyer couldn't hit Wally' Lewis . He was Mark's hero .
Any chance you'll take a break from war porn to mention the release of the Pfizer docs?
👍
What was in them? I couldn’t find anything written about them.
Hear hear!
Shane Warne. Cricketer. Ring any bells?
GBNEWS presenters all have shellshock
Really happy to see Dickie Bird after a long time 🤩
Adieu warney, you will always be in our hearts 💕
I'm Indian and we regard Shane Warne as the greatest spin bowler.
He was Brilliant.
I'm glad Dickie was asked to share. And I'm glad Dickie mentioned Warnie's cricket brain. He _would_ have been a great captain.
Certainly the greatest spin bowler. I was reading about Rodney Marsh when it came through. I thought it was a mistake. Also what a nice geezer Dickie Bird is.
Same here. I was on the BBC sports app looking at the news about Rod Marsh and when I went back to the headlines, it said Shane Warne dead at 52. I had to do a double take. I thought it was a mistake. Or fake news. I’m gutted it wasn’t.
Not really a cricket fan but i'm still very much aware of Shane Warne and indeed Dickie Bird, in my opinion sport in general these days is lacking in such great characters and what a lovely tribute.
A lovely tribute from the best umpire I’ve ever seen to the greatest spin bowler, in fact one of the greatest players, I’ve ever seen. RIP legend, taken far too soon.
Well said 😢
Did Shane overdo the whole lot, burned the candle both ends maybe. Such a shame Shane passed away so very young. Not being a cricket fan, but I did recognise the greatness of the man. RIP SHANE, thank you for your entertaining life 🙏🙏👌👌😥😥
Love me some bird and miss Shane Warne it’s like I lost a mate.
He wasn’t only the GOAT at cricket he was the GOAT as a person. I will miss the fun he brought to the commentary box. Cricket is very much the poorer for his loss. Rest in Peace Shane Warne.
Shane although an aussie was loved and respected by all cricket fans world wide that shows the talent and spirit of a giant.God bless you Warne and thankyou so much for all the thrills and skills we poms are grieving your loss
Nice comment.
Of course the wonderful clot shot & added bonus of inducing cardiac arrest and heart failure had nothing to do with this.....
Still can't come to terms that warnie is no more..
RIP legend
Two legends Shane Warne and Dickie Bird.
One cricket legend laments the passing of another. Great to see Dickie. 👌🏻👍🏻
Another heart attack death of someone in middle age and good health. Wonder what could have caused this (and all the others).
He is not someone he is a legendary spin wizard
He wasn't an example of clean living to be fair, he smoked like a chimney and liked a drink. But what a bowler, best spinner of all time and would have the most wickets if it wasn't for an illegal action that Murali had.
@@gusleonard9397 murali action was cleared by icc ,it's not illegal action
@@harishpavan995 he's a chucker
@@harishpavan995 murali chucked it end of story
Dicky Bird, one of my favourite umpires,
All the best Dicky from Australia 👌
all the best DICKY BIRD YOU GAVE THIS NEW-ZEALANDER A LOT OF JOY WHILE LISTENING TO YOU COMMENTS
As all Australians , so devastated at the passing of Shane 🥲, my heart goes out to his kids and family❤️, such a personality, legend, no question best leg spin bowler of all time 👊👍, heart broken 💔💔💔, will so miss the joy you brought to us all 😔😔😔!
Dickie Bird you are too such a legend of the game, I so miss you as an umpire and character of the game, you where as brilliant an umpire, as Shane was a bowler !
I so wish well, you are so sorely missed , I’m so glad to see you on this medium,
You and Shane have character , and is what is missing in today ❤️❤️❤️👊👊👊🍻
I'm gutted about Warney but, I'm really pleased to find out Dickie Bird is still alive! I honestly thought he died a couple of years ago. Every cloud!
So did I.
I bet Mr Bird is glad to hear that he is still alive.
God bless Dickie
Sad news, Warne an obvious Legend and what better way to remember him than to have another legend of Dickie Bird pay tribute.
Nice to See Dickie with lots of books - I knew he is learned
@amy35757
Bird is anything but learned. By all accounts he struggled with cutlery when eating.
He didn’t get the captaincy because of his private life being out of control at that time. Australians didn’t look at him favourably at one stage in his life. Agree he had one of the best cricket brains of all time and yes he was the GOAT
Love you sir we really miss you ❤❤❤my favourite umpire
Rip warne...the Legend of world cricket
A tribute from one legend to the other. Missing you Legend Warne. May your tribe increase. RIP.
There is no doubt in my mind Dicky Bird greatest umpire in the game during his time. Umpires in the best place to judge the caliber of the bowler against all the bowlers they see. If umpire Dicky Bird says Warnie was the best spin bowler he had seen, that’s good enough for me. He would know from watching them all up close. Love you Dicky.
Lots of sports stars suddenly getting heart problems. Odd that. Sad news.

Yeah….note not a hint about a possible link on any of the channels (and I’ve been following the story on a number having been pretty affected by this terrible news).

Good to see Dickie Birdie still going strong. He’ll be 90 in April😮. Wonderful umpire paying tribute to unquestionably the greatest spin bowler of all time.
RIP Shane Warne... an incredible gem of a player
What a good complement from great shane Warne to Abdul Qadir of Pakistan endorsed by Dikki Bird 💕 and respect from Pakistan
Wonderful to hear Dickie speak of Warney, magical treat
Gutted i never got to see him play live plenty of footage online thankfullyand he's passed his knowledge and skill onto thousands
One of the greatest umpires
Met him at lords a few years ago. Nice chap. Great player. Good batsman fab bowler. I saw live ‘ ball of the century in 93’..
I really can't believe it. Such a shame.
Fantastic Umpire , !!!
Huge respect!!! Great player
NICE TO SEE TO DIKI LOVE YOU
BEST UMPIRE EVER
So good to hear Dickie talk about Warne #Sadtimes but great tribute.
Good ole Dickie Bird……..such great days.

Absolute legend Dickie.
would had been nice to have had a talented proffesional presenter to talk about shane and to the greatest umpire..
Brilliant to hear from Dickie Bird.
Though Warne wasnt much successful against India at Home or away but still he won the first IPL trophy 🏆 for Rajasthani Royals ,he will forever live in the hearts of the cricket lovers of India ,for his undiminished charisma 🙏🙏
Shane was a great cricketer as was his countryman, Rodney Marsh, who died a few days earlier.
A true great. Also a gentleman. RIP. Barmy Army
England's nemisis indeed,I've been English for nearly 50 years,I've hated him as a cricket fan for being an Aussie...... But he was the GOAT! NEVER be another bowler like the great man!!!!!!!!! ❤️
ROCKSTAR FIGHTER ....... RIP warnie
Dickie Bird is a Legend too!
High praise
Respect
Shane our golden Boy 🇦🇺🏏
2 Legends …
I always find it disrespectful to cut away without ending the conversation with the guest given opportunity. Interruptions too. Terrible interview… great man Dicky. Respect ✊
Agree, terrible interviewer!! Learn some tact & respect mate!
Rest in peace Shame, but unfortunately lot's of top athletes gone this way recently,
