When his Australian team was enjoying unprecedented success, Steve Waugh described the Indian tour as "the last frontier".
It's time to scrap that title and adopt a new one; India, the place where Australian spinners go to die. On recent tours there has been a steady parade of Australian spinners who have "died" quicker than a dull comedian.
Even the best of them, Shane Warne, whilst he didn't expire also didn't prosper. The most successful of the recent Australian spinners was Jason Krejza and even though he took a bundle of wickets in one match, he paid a heavy price for each ambush. And since that tour Krejza's been banished to the back blocks of Tasmania.
