india has had a very good record against australia and, before the 2004/05 tour, never being defeated by australia in a test series in india since 1969. this was the reason for australian captain steve waugh labelling india as the "final frontier". the famous 2001 australian tour of india saw harbhajan singh become the first indian to take a test hat-trick and started a good run for the team, as india beat australia 2-1. india also came runners up to australia in the final of the 2003 cricket world cup.
