Post #380,608 by Another Scott 9/13/13 6:18:39 PM Reply	:-) I've tried to watch some matches occasionally, and I've skimmed through the rules on Wikipedia, but its very very strange. The bowler can't/must have a bend in his arm? WTF? And there was some famous bowler who had a birth defect that made his deformity perfect to satisfy the rule or something... Yeah, this guy (or someone like him) - http://static.espncr...et-on-Murali.html The jargon is a little thick on that page, though: The most bizarre irony in world cricket is that the brilliant Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan is perhaps the only Test slow bowler on Planet Earth who legitimately bowls the off-spinner's wrongun, the "doosra". Does Pakistan's Saqlain or India's Harbijhan really bowl the other one? Or is their method of delivering the doosra acheieved with a flawed action? Um, what? :-) Cheers, Scott.
