What the hell happened over there? Warne on England's record breaking ODI total
Sydney, Jun 20 (IBNS): Former Australian cricketer Shane Warne seems to be surprised at the highest ever One Day International (ODI) total scored by England against Australia on Tuesday.
Creating world record, England scored 481/6 in 50 overs at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Tuesday.
Lashing out at Australia, a surprised Warne tweeted, "Just woke up and saw the score in England. What the hell happened over there & what is going on boys? Gulp....."

Apart from spin bowling legend Warne, former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly said England's mammoth total scared him.
The former India skipper tweeted, "Too see almost 500 runs scored in 50 overs in england is scaring me ..about the health of the game and where it’s going..Australian bowling getting treated this way whatever the conditions may be is not acceptable..A country of lillee,thompson,benaud."
However, Ganguly had later deleted the tweet.
Jonny Bairstow (139) and Alex Hales (147) were the top scorers for England.
England captain Eoin Morgan scored 67 off 30 balls lower down the batting order.
Jhye Richardson picked three wickets for Australia. He conceded 92 runs in 10 overs.
Chasing the target, Australia were bowled out for 239, losing the match by 242 runs.
