I got him out several times in my career and why would I be scared of facing the Australians when I have done well against them. I have proved my worth playing 93 Tests. I think it is a good way for him to sell his book," Harbhajan said.<br /><br />In his autobiography 'Standing My Ground', Hayden wrote: "When Ganguly and Harbhajan went out to see the deck a couple of days before the game, they looked like farmers inspecting crops after a hail storm. We predicted neither would play, and they did not. We put their ailments down to acute cases of 'greentrackitis', where you develop a severe intolerance to green wickets likely to give you nothing as a spin bowler and plenty of headaches as a batsman."
