RE:watch out ajanta

It is a myth, the should be exploded.
I cannot recall the years, but the events are very vivid in my mind.
Last time, when England were here, in Mumbai Test, Indians were done in by none too great Shaun Udal and Monty Panesar. When Pakistan were here last, the Indians were again done in, by Shahid Afridi, and some unknown spinner at Bangaluru. Sachin Tendulkar, your God of Cricket, could not uproot anything in either match. Much ealier in '71-72, India almost lost against MCC at Chepauk, chasing 86 against spinners like Pat Pocock and Jack Birkenshaw.
When the pitch is turning, Indians are as bad players of spin as any other team.
