Former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag jokingly asked Shane Warne to “understand a spin” after a fan on Twitter asked Australian spin legend if he understood how spin works.

“Frame it, @ShaneWarne and try to figure out some spin,” Sehwag said in his tweet with a screenshot of the fan’s comment. The comment was made in response to Warne’s tweet criticizing New Zealand for not playing a weirdo in its Game XI for the World Test Championship (WTC) against India.

“Very disappointed that New Zealand is not going crazy in the #ICCWorldTestChampionship as this wicket is going to spin big and huge footprints are already developing. Remember if it looks like it’s spinning. India makes over 275 / 300! Weather is coming! ” said Warne, who picked 708 wickets in an illustrious 15-year career.

New Zealand opted for an all-seam attack with fast-paced bowlers Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Neil Wagner playing with pace bowling all-rounders Colin de Grandhomme and Kyle Jamieson. Jamieson finally made the breakthrough for New Zealand, dismissing Rohit Sharma in the 21st round for 34, ending a 62-run opening stand with Shubman Gill.

Wagner later fired Gill for 28, after which Trent Boult Cheteshwar Pujara’s penance ended at the kink. Captain Virat Kohli was on 44 and his deputy Ajinkya Rahane on 29, with the team reaching 146/3 at the end of the day. While most of the day was uninterrupted, early tea had to be drunk due to poor light and in the third session only about 10 overs could be rolled before the day ended early. The game was supposed to start on Friday but the throw could not take place that day due to continued rain in Southampton.
