When the world of cricket and all of Australia continued to mourn the loss of one of Shane Warne’s beloved individual, former Australian Wicketkeeper Dough Adam Gilchrist had revealed that he had last contacted his former teammate nearly eight hours before passing prematurely. Australia lost two of his biggest cricket heroes at Rodney Marsh and Warne within 24 hours of the others, either because of a heart attack, and it was all the more heartbreaking for Gilchrist, who had grown to shed Marsh and played most of his cricket with a warne.

“I talked to Shane about a week ago. I received a very good text from him. Maybe, I assumed this eight hours before he died. He just sent me a message. He is one of a few guys who consistently call me the Church. The nickname is only those in the inner circle who knows about – about being confused by young English fans and they call me ‘Eric Gilchurch’. He always calls me ‘Churchy’ and always feels like a dear term from a friend, “Gilchrist said to ABC News “He sent me my saying, ‘Church, amazing tribute to Rod Marsh’. What I really respect to do sound. We are not even close to the requirements by passing my childhood heroes at Rod Marsh and other legends from the world of cricket. Warnie Just send me a message and say, ‘done well on that sir. So it’s the last contact. This is a text message that I will never delete. “
The term ‘bowling shane’ was discovered by Gilchrist, who was a guard, watched the wonders of warne up and private. Known because of its dynamic and aggressive limitations and guarding skills, Gilchrist said it was secondary, and that keeping the goal for the warne would still be ‘highlight’ his career.
“It was the highlight of my cricket career, it was that simple. Forget about running and everything, to keep the goal for Shane Warne … Ian Healy and I quite exclusively have the best seat at home to watch maestro at work. It all starts at the top of the sign. Bowling. In fact, it really starts when he takes his hat. And people know that he will come to the bowl. Give a hat on the mark, to the top of Mark. “Gilchrist added. “And then the theater. It’s almost like a film director … Spielberg type people there. Just pull the rope and set everything and build it … to moments, when he always gets his prey. It is an extraordinary angle and me. It was an amazing corner and I would say that the very close and private part of my trip was the relationship of the goalkeeper-bowler with Shane. “
