Warne a genius to predict a tie : Strauss

This is incredible !

Warne's prediction that the Eng Ind match will be a tie had come true.

"I think Warne is a genius to have predicted that way (a tie). What more can I say." said the sophisticated captain.

In the microblogging site, Twitter, Warne wrote "Looking forward to the game between India and England today, should be a cracker. My prediction a tie!"

At the end of the match, Warne tweeted again "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."

Strauss was distraught that he could not win the match.

"I feel a little bit sad and a little bit happy. We got to celebrate the fact it is an unbelievable game of cricket. Some great performances were on both sides. Both sides should be partly happy, partly sad."

"The power-play cost us badly. There is no doubt about it. Brilliant performances from both Graeme Swann and Ajmal Shahzad to have taken us to a win almost. But we didn't play well during that power-play, though we have gained confidence in chasing big scores coming into this game after we chased over 290 in the previous tie with the Netherlands."
