Will Ajmal's ban and the current clamp down on illegal actions lead to the end of the doosra? can the doosra be legally delivered?

Maybe these offies will now learn how to bowl with flight, guile, and drift.  You know, like they did before all this pelting of the doosra started. ;)

Ketchim, I had a look recently at Saqlain and while his action looks much better than some nowadays it was not totally pure. At least not like Gibbs' action or Swann's.

It's been proven thought ultra slo mo replays and computer tech that to bowl the doosra there must be some flexing and straightening of the elbow.  Hence, why all the offies are getting banned from 'bowling' it.  Even Saqlain admitted that you can't bowl the doosra without bending and straightening the elbow.

Several concerns have been raised over whether the doosra can be bowled with a clean action,

Saqlain said it could be delivered within the ICC's 15-degree limit :

for straightening of the elbow.

"Of course, it can be bowled within the rules "

I think bowlers are gonna bowl that, but still the restrictions means it's not flexible and they'd be more conscious about not chucking. Which is good I guess.

Although it remains to be seen how effective it'd be still. once you enforce the rules stricter.

Bhajji is the only one who can bowl a Doosra legally. He is not in the Indian team right now though.

His impressive performance was a significant factor in the team's success, and his dedication to the sport is truly admirable.
