WI SPINNERS: The Rise & Fall Of Devindra Bishoo

However, the delivery has come to be regarded with deep suspicion by many,

particularly in Australia and England, where critics charge that doosra bowlers ;

bend their arm beyond the permissible 15-degree limit.

Had Bishoo's workload been managed a lot better, he would have taken his 100 test wicket by now.

It is the West Indies best interest to have him in the mix.

He is an aggressive cricketer, excellent fielder and no mug with the bat, an area I am sure he could improve on.

Let us see how he gets on in Sri Lanka.

The Doosra from the Off Spinner = the Googley from the Leg Spinner.

It is said that Bishoo knows NOT how to deliver the Googley !

unlike Warne , his arsenal lack heat seeking missiles and a drone  :-[

Ramadin was never called but not so long ago admitted to pelting!  ::LOL::

Ramadhin, who took 158 Test wickets for the West Indies, told the Daily Mail yesterday

that he threw rather than bowled his faster delivery and was allowed to get away with it.

"It's about time I got it off my conscience,'' he said.

Maps will be broken hearted!  He claimed at one point that Ramadin never pelted!  ::LOL:: ::LOL::

The doosra turns from legside to offside, which is the opposite direction to orthodox off breaks.

It is bowled from the back of the hand with a lot of top-spin :

though the bowler's wrist still moves in a clockwise direction,

making it difficult for a batsman to pick.

Will the Big Pu$$y do the right thing and recall Bishoo?
