As Australia's spin woes have them staring down the barrel of a 3-0 whitewash in Sri Lanka, a young leggie has bowled Australia A to a series sweep on home soil.
Queenslander legspinner Mitchell Swepson was the day-four star as Australia beat South Africa A by 10 wickets on Tuesday in Townsville.
The 22-year-old claimed 4-31 in the tourists' second innings and seven wickets for the match.
It's a timely haul for the Bulls' leggie, with front-line spinner Nathan Lyon and second stringers Steve O'Keefe and Jon Holland struggling to make a substantial mark on the subcontinent.
Swepson helped skittle South Africa A for just 180 in their second dig, leaving Australia A a meagre 83-run chase late on day four.
