Australian cricket has lost 3 of its biggest heroes in a span of 2 months. While Shane Warne and Rod Marsh passed away in March, the news of Andrew Symonds' demise on Saturday, May 14 has left the cricket fraternity in shock.
Even before the Australian cricket fraternity could recover from the shock of Shane Warne's demise, tragedy struck again as all-rounder Andrew Symonds died in a car accident aged 46 on Saturday, May 14. Legendary leg-spinner Warne passed away during his personal trip to Thailand in March 2022 due to a heart attack. 2 months and 10 days later, Australia woke up to the news of Symonds' demise.
The two modern-day greats passed away months after Australia lost Rod Marsh, one of the finest servants of the game, due to illness aged 74 in March.
In fact, Symonds, a two-time World Cup winner with Australia, had attended Shane Warne's memorial service in Melbourne in March along with his former Australian teammates.
In a heartbreaking coincidence, Andrew Symonds' last post on social media was about his former teammate Shane Warne.
"Devastated, I’m hoping this is all a bad dream I just can’t get my head around never seeing you again. Love to all the Warne family I’m speechless," Symonds had written on Instagram in March.
Off-spinner Nathan Lyon on Sunday, May 15 recalled a heartbreaking conversation with Symonds during Warne's memorial service, saying that the former all-rounder said that Warne had gone too soon.
