RIP S.K. Warne.
I've had the day to try and get my head around it and just can't.
The fact he was a flawed human aside, Australia and world cricket has just lost an icon.
Mental.

Could you imagine if cricket was an american sport?
Warnie epitomized what it is to be from Aus though. Flawed, recalcitrant, dedicated, funny, talented, all heart, down to earth, hated idiots, smoke, drank, ate meat pies/vegemite, decent bloke, loved his kids and lived every minute of his life to the max.

America will never adopt cricket. We only play sports we can excel in, and the majority of those sports are ones we founded or created. Soccer is only gaining popularity bc the women's team is no joke…if they become mediocre like the men's team people will stop watching that as well.

Indian team just too good. South Africa had them with 30 needed off 30 but Bumrah was something else and then Sky's catch in the last over was ridiculous.
They were the best team by far and they won it all without dropping a game. Congrats to them!

I do like how much the players get into it and have fun. Overall it's hard to take that sport serious. India, being one of the top teams in the world all the time is kinda funny. They really aren't known for their athletic ability lol

Don't need to be a super athletic to play - though that's changing. The whole country plays only 1 sport. It's played in every street and in every village. They're as crazy about this as Brazil or Argentina is crazy about soccer. They live and breathe this - whole country of 1.5B ppl stops when they're playing.
