Watch: Healy says Warne, Marsh leave huge hole

Former Australian wicket-keeper Ian Healy says cricket has lost two of its most engaging figures in Shane Warne and Rod Marsh after both men died in the last week.

Healy spoke to Today this morning about the pair.

“If you could take two people out of our sport who were the most engaged, the most upbeat characters we had - they are gone in the space of a week,” Healy told Today.

Healy said Warne’s accuracy was his greatest strength as a bowler.

“I always say his greatest skill was his accuracy,” Healy told Today.

“I think Warne is the greatest bowler there has ever been and his greatest skill was he could put the ball where he needed to for a particular batsman for long periods of time.”
