‘Shane Warne a genius to have predicted India vs England tie’

Warne predicted that the India vs England match would end in draw well before the match started.

He was a genius with the ball and England captain Andrew Strauss said Shane Warne proved as much a genius with predictions by correctly forecasting that the pulsating India-England match would end in a tie even before the players had walked out on the field.

“I think Warne is a genius to have predicted that way (a tie). What more can I say,” said Strauss after the nerve-wrecking encounter in which his team was set a mammoth 339-run target by the Indians.

Riding on Strauss’ magnificent 158,the Englishmen ended the match even-stevens to snatch a point.

But much before even the first ball was bowled,Warne had predicted on his twitter page that the match would be a tie.

“Looking forward to the game between India and England today should be a cracker. My prediction – a tie!”

Soon after the thriller,Warne posted another tweet in which he said,”Before u think there was something untoward re prediction of a tie,thought it was going to be a cracker – tie was tongue in cheek – but right.”
