Shane Warne has died aged 52 but will forever have his name etched in to the history of cricket.
The Australian great passed away in Thailand of a suspected heart attack, his management company said in a statement.
The right-arm leg-spinner announced himself on the scene with a delivery dubbed "Ball of the Century" as he dismissed England's Mike Gatting at Old Trafford back in the early 1990s.
Across his career, which started in 1992 and lasted for 15 years, Warne played 145 matches and took 708 wickets.
That sits second on the all-time list, below only Muttiah Muralitharan, and ensures he will forever be regarded as one of cricket's most legendary figures.
Warne helped Australia dominate the Ashes before England claimed victory in 2005.
That would be his final series on English soil and he certainly left his mark, putting in one of the best displays of his career.
Warne took 40 wickets across the five Tests with his dismissal of Andrew Strauss at Edgbaston a defining image.
2005 would also end up as Warne's most productive year with the red ball - taking 96 wickets across the 12-month period.
He boasts 37 five wicket hauls, again, only second to Sri Lankan legend Muralitharan. The leg-spinner also took 10 wickets in a Test match on 10 occasions.
Warne would take more wickets - 198 - against England than any other country.
His best Test bowling figures of 8/71 also meant more suffering for the English. In the 1994/95 Ashes Down Under Warne tore the batting line-up apart at the Gabba.
Unsurprisingly the Australian has more Ashes wickets than anyone else.
His most impressive ODI bowling figures came against the West Indies at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1996 and he played his part as Australia won the World Cup in 1999.
Warne would never score a Test century, falling one run shot against New Zealand in December 2001.
Mark Richardson was the man to catch his attempted slog sweep with Daniel Vettori claiming the wicket.
Warne played just seven first-class matches before making his debut at Test level for Australia.
England cricket's official Twitter said: "One of the greatest of all-time. A legend. A genius. You changed Cricket."
Sir Ian Botham wrote on social media after hearing the news: "I've lost a great friend on and off the playing field. 'One of the best' my thoughts are with Jackson Summer & Brooke....RIP Warnster."
Indian legend Virender Sehwag tweeted: "Cannot believe it. One of the greatest spinners, the man who made spin cool, superstar Shane Warne is no more.
"Life is very fragile, but this is very difficult to fathom. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and fans all around the world."
The devastating news comes just hours after Australia lost another cricketing great in Rodney Marsh.
