RIP Shane Warne
Shane Warne has passed away aged 52 from a suspected heart attack. He will be particularly remembered for his "ball of the century" against Mike Gatting.
A great cricketer.

R.I.P. Shane Warne
When my wife told me that Warney was dead this morning I thought that it was a terrible joke.
To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional
Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
What could possibly go wrong.

Two well known Australian Cricketers have passed in a week.
Shane Warne lived life to the full. Liked a smoke and also a drink.
Have not heard much bad about him in tributes. Got to watch him once playing (cricket) for St Kilda against Essendon at Windy Hill. Interacted with the spectators and signed a lot of autographs, both when fielding (in front of the stand), and while waiting to bat.
Gone to soon.

Coincidence or foresight?
Absolutely no disrespect intended to the late great S.W. but I thought I'd share this coincidence.
First, it should be remembered that S.W. was, at one time, nicknamed 'Fatty'.
Second, there was an incident during an overseas tour (South Africa? India?) when he was afflicted with a bad case of the 'trots'. There was even some talk that he might have been deliberately infected via his food to affect his performance.
Fast forward a month or so after this incident and I was browsing through a local Book Fair run by the Lions. I spotted a boys annual that I remembered from my childhood as belonging to my older brother. I even recognized the cover after all those years and bought it in a fit of nostalgia.

When I got it home, it fell open at this page

Now. How did that writer predict the tabloid headline almost half a century in advance?

(P.S. Sorry about the sideways images. Don't know how to cure that.)

There's nothing wrong with your memory.
You must mean this one:

Apologies once again for the sideways view. I'll try to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Cheers,
