Live on Sky Sports Cricket … nice to see a reference to Accrington Cricket Club so early on in the coverage.

Fitting that Warnie should get a exuberant send off, he lived life to the full, and although he only lived for 52 years he didn't half pack an awful lot into his relatively short life.

Yep, in fact a comment from his Dad during the memorial was that he fit in 2 life’s worth of living into his 52 years.

Just been a nice little feature about SW playing at Accrington on BBC north west.
Think it's available on iPlayer.

It was on the radio today about viewing figures. They reckon 1 billion worldwide. But just 1 million here in Oz.

What a fantastic send off to a fantastic cricketer.
There will never be a spinner around to challenge SW's status as the greatest spin bowler ever.
