think the fact that this is a dust bowl prob made it turn as much as it did. See the big puff o dust. Still, that's a slick ball. Have a look at Saqlain bowling the doosra to Marcus Trescothick, that was ace!
@withersn Because when he delivered the ball it looked like a leg spin. A doosra does the same thing a leg spin does which is the ball comes into the left hander. However, the doosra is disguised as an off spin at the point of release but it actually behaves like a leg spin off the pitch. If you try to bowl the doosra you would also have to bend your arm a bit too. This is why bowlers like Ajmal, Harbhajan, Murli, and any offspinner that bowls doosra's looks like a chuck.
Hey waratahswallows this is not a doosra. One yoou aren't allowed to teach the doosra in Australia and two it has come out of the footmarks and spun back in. So get your facts right before you post this stuff, Mc Shithead
That was a weird leave. Sort of knew he was out even before the ball was pitched. Lesson learned, never leave shit that pitches in the footmarks, that track looked very old.
what a crock of shit, you don't need a bend arm to bowl a doosra, you can bowl it out of the front of the hand, just because murali and harbijhan throw their doosra doesn't mean no one else can do it without throwing.
@tremor21 fuck off mate..... murali does nt throw to bowl doosra..... then according to the law the greatest bowler ever shane warne throws aswell when bowling his flipper..... come round queensland and ill show u wat throwing is...
A leg break bowled by an offspinner is a doosra...take a look at all the videos of Ajmal, Saqlain etc, at the point of release it's essentially a leg break...the only distinction with a leg spinner bowling the same delivery is the concealment of the change. The carrom ball is also a leg break with the middle finger flicking the ball forward a bit more.
Brilliant execution by Krejza, if he can get more accurate, he'd stand head and shoulders above current crop of Aussie spinners.
@NikhilS78 if you really think a doosra is bowled in the same way as a leg break, you don't know shit about spin bowling. They are the same delivery in the sense that both turn from leg to off, but the grip and the way it comes out of the hand are NOT the same. Equating the two only causes more confusion
@shutuprafa Guess starting with hyperbole is one way to make a point on Youtube! The doosra is hardly defined in coaching manuals for there to be a definitive one...only defining characteristic is that it turns towards off. To get a ball to turn from leg to off, you need to apply rotation counterclockwise, my point was whatever the grip, at pt of release it needs same work as a legbreak.
And for your information Laker, Bedi etc knew nothing of doosras..they still knew a bit about spin.
@shutuprafa My point about concealment is that for a doosra Saqlain, Murali etc held the ball with the fingers pointing towards the bowler to make it look like an offspinner, and legspinners did so with fingers pointing towards the batsman. At the point of release howev, the ball is doing the SAME THING. For that matter, these days even off spin grips vary...Furthermore the carrom ball variant popular today has an even more similar grip to a leg break (except using fingers more than wrist)
@NikhilS78 Does anyone not realize that that's what a doosra is? I didn't realize people thought a doosra would do anything other than turn from leg to off. If that's the case, I guess your comment is informative, but I would never call a doosra a legbreak or a legbreak a doosra. Adil Rashid's a leggie who bowls offbreaks, but I wouldn't call those offbreaks googlies. Deliveries are defined by the grip, the manner in which the ball comes out of the hand, and the direction of the spin
@shutuprafa Fair enough, guess its semantics...my point was just that at release, counterclockwise rotations applied to the ball, albeit in a roundabout way. But when you put it in context of the googly, your definition makes more sense (Since it's been round for over a 100 years, has developed an identity, for me a doosra is still an undefined novelty)
Carrom ball tho def a modded legbreak...some ppl refer to it as a doosra too but that's incorrect perhaps. Krejza did well to disguise tho.
@shutuprafa Krejza could get away with it to left-handers, but wonder if he'd be able to disguise for righties, he's more of a classical side-on bowler thn say Harbhajan or Ajmal...Also he's different from other offies in that he gives a tweak of the wrist (his is strong), perhaps that's why he was able to bowl this well..Left-armers who can, should use a similar variation against right-handers...right now they still rely on the flight variations and the arm ball (perhaps because of the angle).
@NikhilS78 wow that's a lot of extrapolation from a clip that doesn't have any sort of slo-mo. I'm still skeptical of Krejza's ability to get the ball to turn the other way. I think the pitch assisted him here more than him having strong wrists, which you are right in saying is the key to a classical off spinner getting the doosra. But classical offies don't need the doosra to beat left-handers if they can get drift. Playing a ball that drifts in and then turns away is bloody hard.
This is not a doosra. Krejza does not have a doosra, no Aussie spinner does and I doubt any Aussie spinner will ever try to develop one, since it is nearly impossible to achieve without chucking it and/or losing your off-spinner.
do me a favour mate? shut up , the fact he can bowl a doosra is brilliant, im not saying its shit, im saying the shot selection was extremely poor which led to the ball looking a lot better than it was.
@Hovis64 Pls. A guy not known for his doosra bowls to you on a pitch that looks like a minefield. A better leave than Strauss's leave to Warne. Sometimes, you have to credit the bowler for just being too good. Obvviously, it was a mistake by the batsman since he got out, but credit where it is due.
Great ball. It's not a doosra though, basically just a leg break bowled off the middle finger out of the front of the hand. Fairly easy to pick if you watch the wrist.
This is not a doosra, it is a variant of the carrom ball which Ajantha Mendis bowls, there is an english offspinner called Alex Loudon who can also turn the ball the other way, but he uses his middle finger to impart opposite spin. Doosra is a term given to a delivery that is bowled while the back of the hand faces the batsman, you spin the ball as you would if you where going to deliver a stock offspinner. It might also be an arm ball which can swing if you make one side shiny enough.
Many years ago i was down at Rossiter Oval at Wesley College in South Perth and saw a young cricketer by the name of Leif Powis bowl a ball identical to this. Such an amazing talent and rumor has it he is still tweeking them somewhere in the United Kingdom today ...
fluke if u ask me hit a crack.. if he good bowl a delviery like that iam sure he would be in the ashes squad.. he should be in the squad anyways instead of nathan huritz whos bowls puss from underneath his mothers cuss
honestly just think about it for minute.. if he was able to bowl the so called doosra he would be in the australian team with out a moments delay.. face reality it was a one in million ball that spun the "wrong" way due to the rough..
@keffles24 He's not in the Aussie team because he's expensive. I'm English but I watched his debut test against India where he picked up 12 wickets (I think) for about 1,000 runs. He's an aggressive bowler but leaks too many runs.
He can bowl the doosra, the Aussie commentators have mentioned this in the past. Although it's not a true doosra. If you look close it's more of a slow leg cutter, he just rolls his fingers down the left side of the ball.

Bowling an off-break out of the rough would increase the turn if anything. But according to you he bowled an off-break or an arm-ball that went the other way by accident?
Not really as no one really knows Krejza can bowl a doosra and it was far outside off stump, I would have left it if I wasn't attacking. I reckon he didn't actually bowl a doosra, it looked like it just hit the crack.
nice bowl .. he could have covered abit more better the line of the bowl by putting his pad forward abit lazy by the batsmen.. but good bowl would have got most batsmen out
thats exactly how i bowl mine u have to rotate ur shoulder alot more which means u have to slow ur action down like he did the push the ball out with the fingers movin in a opposite way to normal u usually get some drift with it aswell.
@KILL4N4IN doorsa doesnt need to come out of the back of the hand its all to do with ur use of body and wrist the back of the hand thing is just what some people do
@koka841 That probably was the reason it spun so much but he did bowl it as a doosra, so at least he did try and bowl one, whether it actually was a doosra or hit a foothole is debatable. Of course Krejza can put it to rest if he bowls another one.
@koka841 From the batsman himself: "He'd been bowling a few of them [doosras] in the game, for sure...
It didn't look like it had many revolutions on it. It didn't look like it was going to do much but it hit the edge of the crack, right on the outside. It just speared back into my stumps. It was definitely a doosra."
Krezja: "It's been a bit of a secret. I've been working on it in pre-season for a while with Tim Paine"
That should mean instant reinstatement into Aussie team. That's ridiculous! Poor Khawaja, wouldn't have mattered if he had ten bats, had his time over again a thousand times and only needed to defend one stump, he still wouldn't have got out to that.
beautiful ball, that batsmen had no fuckin idea lol, seen it pitching half a metre outside off and didnt even bother raising his backlift hahaha only for it to turn the other way and bowl him. Didn't realise this fella had a doosra, but its well disguised, why isnt he playing for Aus? get rid of hauritz.
@eurodude9999 Cos hauritz manages to bowl well... where as Krejza has OFFICALLY conceded the most runs on debut. Think he took 8-215 going at 5 an over. Then followed up with 4-141 at 4.6 an over. He might take wickets but most days he will get hammered
I'm sure if Krejza had the expert help and training that Haury recieves, then he'd be more consistent. But you cannot pass up a guy who can bowl this kind of delivery, its priceless. Right now, Hauritz is to predictable, sure he has a flatter quicker delivery, but other then that the stock off break?... Krejza just needs to be more consistent and he'd be deadly.
ive seen krejza's action before and it classic off-spin, but here he clearly moves his elbow. It is not like a murali movement but he still moves it and opens his shoulders more. Im no bradman, but i think i would be able to pick that out of the hand. Still give him props for pulling that off though.
Let's see him bowl it on a pitch that doesn't look as if an indian wedding has taken place on it. I hope this guy is for real. Hauritz takes off-spin to a boring level... i started bowling offies because of saqlain... was his action ever questioned? Nope. This guy's action is cleaner than Saqi's. He even wears a shirt that leaves the elbow visibe. i take my hat off to him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
nothing special. he runs his fingers down the side of the ball almost like a pace bowler's leg cutter. he hits a crack on the pitch and it turns big.plus he has the angle in which helps
Nothing special? Warne's Doosra only turned half a foot lol. That ball turned 2 feet. That wasn't a crack either, it landed perfectly on a footmark so it gripped - Intentional!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Clearly you all know nothing. All it was was a normal delivery (maybe overspinner) that hit the right hand edge of a deep footmark on a wearing fourth day SCG wicket, and just happened to deviate back towards the stumps. It was a fluke!
here in australia we associate "doosra" with murali too much... seeing as murali isn't a finger-spinner, he can't really be said to be bowling "the" doosra anyway XD
I agree 100% dauwg. Me and you we to sides of the same coin dawg. We like peanutbutter and toast. We think the Doosra should be legit since the white folk and do it you dig. Yeah baby we too legit to quit.
thats not doosra, its a finger flick ball, like carrom ball. doosra is off spin with the wrist rotated to have the back of the hand face the batsmen. u cant do offspin as a legspinner and call it a googly. a googly is still something different.. same applies with doosra and this
NO BALL! he is chucker chucker! naaah only kidding as i do the dark lords bidding while i'm siting watching sehwag and yuvraj do the hitting. what would Hair say? surely this would ruin his day and put him in complete disarray maybe even turn him gay.
as a matter of fact, my hand is not on my penis whilst I bowl...all I was saying is that they're making a big deal out of nothing, assuming that the only way to bowl the doosra is to throw it.
Krezja can't ball a doosra!!!!
It was just the pitch otherwise, he would have used the doosra against Ind to cement his place in the starting 11.

Not really as no one really knows Krejza can bowl a doosra and it was far outside off stump, I would have left it if I wasn't attacking. I reckon he didn't actually bowl a doosra, it looked like it just hit the crack.

nice bowl .. he could have covered abit more better the line of the bowl by putting his pad forward abit lazy by the batsmen.. but good bowl would have got most batsmen out

thats exactly how i bowl mine u have to rotate ur shoulder alot more which means u have to slow ur action down like he did the push the ball out with the fingers movin in a opposite way to normal u usually get some drift with it aswell.

it is not a doosra . it just hit the footmarks and turned in. He can´t bowl a doosra.
koka841 1 year ago 35
@koka841 That probably was the reason it spun so much but he did bowl it as a doosra, so at least he did try and bowl one, whether it actually was a doosra or hit a foothole is debatable. Of course Krejza can put it to rest if he bowls another one.

@koka841 From the batsman himself: "He'd been bowling a few of them [doosras] in the game, for sure...
It didn't look like it had many revolutions on it. It didn't look like it was going to do much but it hit the edge of the crack, right on the outside. It just speared back into my stumps. It was definitely a doosra."
Krezja: "It's been a bit of a secret. I've been working on it in pre-season for a while with Tim Paine"
Quite clearly a doosra mate...

That should mean instant reinstatement into Aussie team. That's ridiculous! Poor Khawaja, wouldn't have mattered if he had ten bats, had his time over again a thousand times and only needed to defend one stump, he still wouldn't have got out to that.

beautiful ball, that batsmen had no fuckin idea lol, seen it pitching half a metre outside off and didnt even bother raising his backlift hahaha only for it to turn the other way and bowl him. Didn't realise this fella had a doosra, but its well disguised, why isnt he playing for Aus? get rid of hauritz.
eurodude9999 1 year ago
@eurodude9999 Cos hauritz manages to bowl well... where as Krejza has OFFICALLY conceded the most runs on debut. Think he took 8-215 going at 5 an over. Then followed up with 4-141 at 4.6 an over. He might take wickets but most days he will get hammered
CarloGrey 1 year ago
@CarloGrey
I'm sure if Krejza had the expert help and training that Haury recieves, then he'd be more consistent. But you cannot pass up a guy who can bowl this kind of delivery, its priceless. Right now, Hauritz is to predictable, sure he has a flatter quicker delivery, but other then that the stock off break?... Krejza just needs to be more consistent and he'd be deadly.

ive seen krejza's action before and it classic off-spin, but here he clearly moves his elbow. It is not like a murali movement but he still moves it and opens his shoulders more. Im no bradman, but i think i would be able to pick that out of the hand. Still give him props for pulling that off though.

that was freakin incredible. Sure, the rough would have helped a hundredfold, but still.
dragon2712 2 years ago 2
Let's see him bowl it on a pitch that doesn't look as if an indian wedding has taken place on it. I hope this guy is for real. Hauritz takes off-spin to a boring level... i started bowling offies because of saqlain... was his action ever questioned? Nope. This guy's action is cleaner than Saqi's. He even wears a shirt that leaves the elbow visibe. i take my hat off to him.

thats a leg-spinner, he used his middle finger to flick it
there is no way he couldve done a doosra without bending his arm
really smart tho

Awesome, I've never seen his doosra. Krazy definitely gets some huge rip. Shame he doesn't bowl like this all the time.

nothing special. he runs his fingers down the side of the ball almost like a pace bowler's leg cutter. he hits a crack on the pitch and it turns big.plus he has the angle in which helps

Clearly you all know nothing. All it was was a normal delivery (maybe overspinner) that hit the right hand edge of a deep footmark on a wearing fourth day SCG wicket, and just happened to deviate back towards the stumps. It was a fluke!

here in australia we associate "doosra" with murali too much... seeing as murali isn't a finger-spinner, he can't really be said to be bowling "the" doosra anyway XD

Let's make doosra legal just like 'reverse swing' because white guys can do it now.

I agree 100% dauwg. Me and you we to sides of the same coin dawg. We like peanutbutter and toast. We think the Doosra should be legit since the white folk and do it you dig. Yeah baby we too legit to quit.
serriously though I feel the same way
jay123tysk 2 years ago 4
thats not doosra, its a finger flick ball, like carrom ball. doosra is off spin with the wrist rotated to have the back of the hand face the batsmen. u cant do offspin as a legspinner and call it a googly. a googly is still something different.. same applies with doosra and this
