Shane Warne was the ‘special guest’ as Australia prepared for the high-voltage semi-final against India. Spin maestro Warne rolled his arm over and was seen bowling to Shane Watson.

The traditionally slow SCG strip is expected to assist the spinners. With two good spinners in their ranks, India do hold slight edge when it comes to spin. Australia won’t have Warne’s services when the coin goes up for the toss, but are utlising the legend’s skills to counter the Indian spin-twin of R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.
