Talk:Doosra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Has anyone ever seen the actual results of the ICC study into bowling actions? It's been widely reported, and was used as justification for changing the laws on legal bowling actions, but as far as I can tell no one outside of the ICC has actually seen the report.

Didn't the ICC try and make it private which stirred up some controversy by basically covering up the fact that some bowlers are throwing the ball? bacco007 10:03, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

They just plugged this article on TMS. --Jshecket 11:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Urdu

The word doosra comes from Urdu, and shouldnt be related to hindi. The move was invented by a Pakistani, and his language was Urdu. Please dont try to cram India in to everything Pakistan related. I dont see this happening the other way around.

[edit] Dan Cullen

Much of the section on Dan Cullen is unencyclopedic presskit/fanclub material and should probably go. The mention of how much Cullen straigtens his arm isn't cited and doesn't mention whether this is true when he bowls his doosra, and in fact, it isn't confirmed that he even bowls one. How about we condense this section to something like: "South Australian Dan Cullen, yet to play Test cricket, is rumoured to bowl an international-standard doosra"?
