Shane Warne's mastery of the cricket ball has never been in doubt and now it seems his decision to cut short his retirement has been proven correct, too.
In a dazzling display of confidence, Warne predicted exactly how he was going to dismiss Brisbane Heat's batting star Brendon McCullum.
The Australia bowling hero - who took 708 Test wickets - was competing in the Big Bash League Twenty20 for Melbourne Stars when he spoke to the commentators live on air.
The commentator said: ‘What about to (Brendon) McCullum, Shane?'
Warne replied: 'Well, I'll try to shape a sweet one after that first one, or maybe even go inside out and get a bit harder. So I'll try and slide one in there... fast.'
And that's exactly what happened after McCullum failed with a sweep onto the leg side and saw his stumps rattled.
Warne's fiancee Liz Hurley was in the crowd as the leg-spinner proved that he may be getting on in years (42 of them), but he can still read the game better than most.
