Legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne has become the latest casualty of social media platform Twitter after he faced severe backlash from numerous users of the platform with regard to stating Sir Don Bradman as the ‘Greatest Sportsman’ of all time.
The incident happened after Warne retweeted Cricketopia’s poll regarding Five cricketers of the century (1900-1999), giving people five options. Cricketopia mentioned the names of Sir Don Bradman, Sir Gary Sobers, Sir Jack Hobbs, Warne and Sir Vivian Richards.

While Bradman being adjourned as the Best cricketer was received well by the audiences, Warne’s tweet went on the contrary. “And rightly so – the Don was the greatest sportsman that’s ever lived on the planet. Compare anyone from any sport, from any era with any calculations you want – he was the best. What an amazing honour it was to be voted with this amazing group of Sirs !,” read Warne’s tweet.
The 49-year old cricketers’ followers didn’t seem to agree with him and what followed was something which Warne wouldn’t have expected. Read some of the criticizing tweets by fans for Warne below:
