Ashley Mallett, the former off-spin bowler and Australia’s spin guru, has tipped Harbhajan Singh to torment his countrymen for Down Under once more in the forthcoming four-Test series.

Mallett (68) famously predicted that Harbhajan would be the bane of the Aussies before the historic 2001 Test series in India (despite Steve Waugh’s team being called invincible), and the Sardar went on to pick up 32 wickets. The Indian off-spinner, who has claimed 81 Australian wickets in his 99-Test career, earned a recall on Sunday.
