The iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground's (MCG) Great Southern Stand will be renamed after legendary spinner Shane Warne, who passed away following a suspected heart-attack in Thailand on Friday at the age of 52, while the Victorian government "has offered a state funeral" for one of the greatest cricketers of all time.

A report in cricket.com.au said on Saturday that passionate cricket fans and people from other walks of life "laid flowers, meat pies and beer cans" at Warne's statue at the MCG following the legend's sudden death.
