Nine months after his sudden death, spin bowling legend Shane Warne has been elevated to the 'legend' status in the Sport Australia Hall of fame. 

Warne, who took 1001 wickets in international cricket, became just the fifth-ever cricketer to be awarded the most prestigious sporting honour that can be bestowed on an Aussie.

The late Victorian joined the Hall Of Fame in 2009 and became eligible for legend status in 2022 - 15 years after his retirement from Test cricket. 

Warne died at age 52 in March after a heart attack while on holiday in Thailand.
