World Cup 2015: Guess who's helping Clarke prepare against Indian spin attack ahead of semifinal clash?

As the Australia-India semifinal is just round the clock, Michael Clarke doesn't want any stone unturned in his preparations for the crunch tie and he is being helped by spin legend Shane Warne in the nets as the leg-spinning great bowled to the skipper at the SCG on Wednesday.

Watson, who is considered the greatest leg spinner of all time, was helping prepare Clarke to face the Indian spin in Thursday's semi-final.

Warne had some magic moments at the SCG, as he took 64 Test wickets in 14 games and 43 ODI wickets in 26 matches there, News.com.au reported.

However, the spin great had an inauspicious debut 23 years ago as bowling against India he was belted to all corners by the World Cup team's manager Ravi Shastri, conceding 1-150.

A year later Warne went for 1-116 against West Indies and his career was on the ropes but a matchwinning performance later that summer fixed his place and in the SCG Test of 1993-94 he claimed 12 South African wickets for 128, the report added.
