Australian greats start new annual tradition in memory of Shane Warne and Andrew Symonds

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting organised a reunion of some of the greatest cricketers the country has ever produced so they could celebrate the lives of former teammates Shane Warne and Andrew Symonds, who both tragically passed away earlier this year.

Warne died at the age of just 52 after suffering a heart attack while on holiday in Thailand, while Symonds passed away aged 46 after he was involved in a car accident.
