Shane

Grew up watching Warne McGrath and company dominate cricket. Learnt so much about Shane Warne after watching this. After Cricket career ended certainly came across as smug and arrogant..guess after being one of the best Sports people in the world for 20 years he deserves this attitude.

The documentary is well put together. Shane Warne is one of the great characters in sport and the greatest cricketer of my time. This documentary serves to remind me there was nothing like him, the way he spun the ball, got into batsman's heads and got in the news was unlike anyone.

It was definitely a positive view of Warne however to its detriment. There was a roll call of Shane's friends, however some, like Chris Martin and Ed Sheeran were wasted, instead of giving an insight into the effects of fame they talked about him as a cricket fan.

It would have also been great to hear from some people who weren't as positive towards him. Steve Waugh on managing him as a captain, dropping him in West Indies and their relationship even from someone from South Africa like a Graeme Smith on what Warne was like as an opposition player, especially when he crossed the line.

However it was good to get a greater insight into his family life, and his success in the IPL. Warne was truly one of a kind, and the good and the not always good made him who he was.

While this might skip over the 'not so nice' bits about Warne, you can't help get caught up the greatness of Shane Warne. I was privileged to grow up watching him and McGrath do their thing and this doco really does capture the essence of that era. Shane Warne was the most entertaining cricketer I have ever seen. A great trip down memory lane and a cricket tragic's dream.

I'm guessing Shane had a lot of input into this doco as it skims over the trials of his career and speaks to his tribulations in great length. Some strange choices of character references (Ray Martin?) but otherwise a pretty good insight into the rise and rise of one Shane Keith Warne.

"Shane" I thought was a good documentary for all cricket lovers who wanted to know more about Shane Warne's life. Was released 7 weeks prior to Warnies shock passing in Koh Samui March. I can recommend this dvd to all cricket fans. He was not only a wonderful person who gave his all but also a very good father who loved his kids more than anything.

RIP Warnie.
