Australian cricket legend Shane Warne paid tribute to Rod Marsh shortly before he himself died at the age of 52.
Leg-spinner Warne, widely considered one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, could not be revived after being found unresponsive following a cardiac arrest at his villa in Koh Samui, Thailand.
Warne took 708 Test match wickets for his country but his legacy extended way beyond statistics, with his ability to outthink batsman and produce memorable deliveries cementing a reputation whereby entertainment and quality went hand in hand.
