Murali, he is like the inventor of the doorsa I think, and if he's not then IN MY OPINION he's the best at it. I also think he is the most important player in cricket. He's been involved in so many controversies, and one of them for me the biggest controvery of all time with that Aussie umpire. His controversies are not what make him the most important cricket player, but the fact that his controversies have changed the rules of the game. Besides, he has this energy that draws you, he's very fun to watch.

Saqlain Mushtaq is credited with inventing the doosra, although Sonny Ramadhin was getting the ball to turn both ways back in the 1950s.

Oh, cool video man, thanks for sharing! You like Murali as well or you're going to give me a million numbers to not like him? Ha, ha, just kidding. I can tell you're really passionate about cricket and that you know a lot and it's interesting having you here and learning from you. I'm just someone who loves watching these guys, I don't know a lot about numbers, all I know is about excitement and pure love for the game.

Ramadhin also pelted (and admitted it). Murali was accused of pelting but tests and tests even in a cast proved otherwise! ;D
