Shane Warne: 'A legend that will continue to grow'
Former Australia captain and wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist pays tribute to his great friend.
A week on from when news first broke about Shane Warne鈥檚 sudden death Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma pay tribute to the 'King of Spin'.
He was known as cricket's greatest ever leg-spinner, arguably cricket's greatest bowler and surpassed only by Sir Donald Bradman as Australia's greatest cricketer. Shane Warne took 708 Test wickets, the second most of all time, in 145 matches across a stellar 15-year international career.
Keeping wicket to Warne from 1999 through to the end of his international career was Adam Gilchrist and he joins the team to share his memories of playing alongside him and gives us an insight into the player, man and friend he was.
