Lord’s Cricket Ground’s:
Shane Warne was one of only two men to take over 1,000 international wickets.
He was man-of-the-match at Lord’s during @CricketAus‘ 1999 Men’s @cricketworldcup final victory & won every Test he played in at this Ground.
He will be remembered as one of the greats of our game. https://t.co/XE5rCWXQUx pic.twitter.com/8LIAriPw1L
