Bangalore - England captain Andrew Strauss has hailed Shane Warne as a 'genius', after the former Australian spin king correctly predicted Sunday's epic World Cup clash with India would end in a tie.

"I think Warne is a genius to have predicted that. What more can I say?" said Strauss after the Group B match which saw England equal India's 338, only the fourth tie in World Cup history.
Before a ball had been bowled, Warne had predicted on his Twitter page: "Looking forward to the game between India and England - should be a cracker. My prediction - a tie!"
Just after the game had finished, 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."
