The number of famous people who met their end in hotels is perhaps unsurprising. A fate shared with Jimmi Hendrix, Margaret Thatcher, Peter Roebuck, and Oscar Wilde. I wonder which of those Mr Warne shared most in common. Do we accept that Warne was “booted” from his hotel room to permit his children to get to sleep, or did he absent himself? He appears so absorbed in the contemplation of his new footwear. There is an exclusivity of focus not inconsistent with his apparent ability to block out the chaos of his domestic dramas once he stepped onto the outfield.
I had a mark ray book as a child, ‘cricket masala.’ It had the most wonderfully humane photos from the Qayyum inquiry and Australia’s ‘98 tour of Pakistan.

Perfect lines and length.
A lovely reflection in image and words on just a moment in time. The great Warne at rest. Though he never was.
At first seeing this image very small in my email, I thought he was reading a book! Illusions shattered, but only for a moment.
