Shane

"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.

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.

Great documentary but a massive shame it was spilt by very poor choices of people to speak on his behalf. Kevin Petersen was completely self indulgent, Chris Martin and Ed Sheeran didn't have a clue about cricket. Took away from the real magic that Warne was. Makes you wonder why a lot of legendary cricketers weren't part of the documentary - Ponting for example. Afraid the smoke behind the betting controversy may be a big reason.

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.

Good documentary, some parts are not really required, I watched this just after his passing away. What a cricketer, I grew up watching him destroy teams with that lethal spin. RIP Shane.
