When Shane Warne said "these 40,000 people have come to watch Sachin ..." to Ganguly!

Shane Warne, the legend of the Australian cricket team, suddenly passed away on Friday leaving the cricket fraternity and his fans in shock and mourning. 

Warne, who was on a holiday in Thailand, had a sudden heart attack and died in his room.

Several former cricketers are recalling about their beautiful moments with Warne. Sachin, Kumble and Ponting amongst others, who played during the Warne era, commented on the legend's unknown side.

Former Australian cricketer Ian Chappell recalled Warne's sledge to Ganguly and how he taunted him by saying the crowd is here to watch Sachin Tendulkar in a Test match between Australia and India in 1999 at the Adelaide Cricket Ground.

"To give you a classic example. Australia were playing India at the Adelaide Oval, and Shane had come round the wicket bowling to Ganguly. Now, Tendulkar was at the non-striker's end," said Chappell.

"So Shane bowled three or four balls wide into the footmarks - some of them didn't hit the footmarks so they didn't come back as much, and Ganguly was just kicking them away," said Chappell in the Warne documentary.

Usually, Warne does not engage himself in word war as much as any other Australian players. It is to be noted that like the comment he passed on Ganguly, he would come up with such remarks while taking wickets.
