Andrew Symonds’ last Instagram post was tribute to close friend Shane Warne

Andrew Symonds posted an emotional tribute to his close friend and fellow cricket great Shane Warne just week before he himself died in a fatal car crash. 

The retired all-rounder died about 10.30pm on Saturday in Hervey Range, 50km west of Townsville in far north Queensland, when his vehicle left the road and rolled. 

The 46-year-old posted a tribute to his close friend and teammate hours after Warne suffered a fatal heart attack while on holiday in Thailand in March.

What was to be Symonds last ever Instagram post was just a two months after the legendary sportsmen rang in the New Year together at a Melbourne pub. 

‘Devastated, I’m hoping this is all a bad dream I just can’t get my head around never seeing you again. Love to all the Warne family I’m speechless,’ he wrote.
