How come Saqlain never got called or never had any complaint for the doosra against him in his entire career. Has anyone wondered? Because he was the only bowler in the world who could deliver the doosra without straightening the elbow at the point of delivery. After all he invented it. Every other copy cat chucks the doosra including Murali, Harbhajan, Ajmal, Malik...Bhajji, especially after he was called early on in his career started swivelling his chest to face the bowler so as to make the chuck look minimal.

True ... and one more fact is .. saqlain never bowled doosra ... he always bowled the straighter one that never spun or spun the other way with the help of cracks on the pitch. But he never used his wrists to bowl doosra, he just changed his direction of his fingers while bowling the offspin

hey loser nischal. Saqlain was the first one to bowl the 'doosra' and thats how it came into being. I agree with praful venugopal's view
Doosra is an Elbow Ball. It cannot be bowled without straightening and jerking the elbow. Technicalities like allowing the Elbow Joint to open up by certain degrees were introduced just to accommodate Murali. In common parlance, a delivery is legal as long as the arm remains perfectly straight till the point of delivery. Both Murali and Harbhajan start their action with a bent elbow, and straighten it just before release so as to show the back of the hand to the batsman. It is not that the Aussies cannot bowl it. Bowling Doosra is no big deal.

Vadhi Raj:
What is the style of Oz?..... If you read the article you'll come to know that they have banned their own bowlers from bowling or even learning doosra..... YOU have a problem with that?....
On the other hand, we Indians continue sledging ourselves and have the biggest issues with other teams' sledging.... .
How does THAT sound in terms of hypocrisy?.....
Which approach - the Aussies' or ours - do you think falls in the category of "crying" versus taking tough clear cut decisions?
these aussies aer biggest cheaters of all time and now since they have started on being loosing side they are coming up with lame excuses....."doosra" is nothing but a second man in shane warne wife's life

The Body line bowling was alright as it was used by Englishmen, the inventor of cricket. Whatever we invent they make it iillegal.

Yo jitendra, it was saqlain who bowled the doosra first. Why did u say 'we'? Now if u support ur statement by saying you meant the asian countries by we, then that includes pakistan. It wont take a hypocrite like you to start foul mouthing pakistanis as well. get a life

Lasith Malinga's action though legitimate needs to be banned as the batsman tend to not pick the bowl when released. Even Sachin apart from Australians had some issues picking up the action.
His fulltoss deliveries have always created confusion with the lower end batsman. He needs to be banned before someone gets seriously injured.

Freak show, if his full toss deliveries have created 'confusion' among lower oreder batsmen that shows how good and deceptive he is. I wish he rockets a full toss on your balls

Dear Anurag....I am aware of the rules and also understand that the delivery is legitimate if there is no straightening of the elbow and also if the ball is delivered above the ear level of the bowler.I also understand that his action is legitimate based on the current rules.But I am worried that if this continues,we will have kid practicing such action and in a few years time we will not find any bowlers with classic action playing at international level
