'Turbanator' awaits Aussies with new weapon
Harbhajan Singh has claimed that he has been working on a "mystery ball" to catch the Aussies off gaurd.
If "Turbanator I" was like a horror film for Australia in 2001, "Turbanator II" promises to be no different.
Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, nicknamed the "Turbanator" for his awesome performance against Australia three years ago, has already warned that he plots to ambush the visitors with new weapons this time.
He claims he has been working on a "mystery ball" for the past couple of months to catch the Australians on the wrong foot. He has declined to comment on how the new delivery will behave.
"I will save it for the Australians when they come to India," Harbahjan said.
"I have not been using it yet because we are playing non-stop. I need some more time to work on it since developing it takes time. But I promise that it will be a good ball, a wicket-taking one."
This is not encouraging news for Australia, trying to break a 35-year drought and win a Test series in India.
Harbhajan was the main difference between the two teams in 2001, setting an Indian record of 32 wickets in three matches to play a major role in his side's stunning 2-1 victory.
