Glenn Maxwell breaks down in an interview while sharing memories of Shane Warne

Australian cricketing legend Shane Warne passed away on March 4 in Thailand after suffering a heart attack according to reports. The spin-legend was brilliant at his craft and his skill was unmatched as he spun a web around batters in his playing days. Shane Warne's untimely demise sent shockwaves around the world and condolences poured for him. Many cricketers who played with the Australian greats shared memories of the enigmatic personality that the leg-spinner was. 

"I was actually lucky enough to play my second ever grade game against Warnie. I was about 16 or 17 and thought I was fortunate then. But to get to play with him at the Stars and post his career, become good friends off the field and sort of be a part of his inner sanctum... it's a hard morning."

"He was a pretty life-loving person. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more caring, loyal, generous person than him. He gave his time to pretty much every cricketer that came through. He saw every leg spinner that was playing international cricket, state cricket when he was commentating, he'd be out there helping them out. That was just the sort of person he was, he just gave his time so generously. He found a way to, he inspired multiple generations of players wanting to be Shane Warne. That’s the legacy he's going to leave," Maxwell revealed.

"He was (fun to be around). Even just to talk to him about normal stuff, he was just so knowledgeable and so caring and friendly. When myself and Finchy (Aaron Finch) started playing poker with him and going around to his house, being openly invited to just have these nice chats with him, we’d always make an effort to turn up early so we could talk about other stuff. He was just so giving with his time and more than happy to give back."
