Shane Warne and Anil Kumble are one of best 'wrong-un' bowler ever.

His main variation delivery early in his career with 'the Flipper' that went straight on, low and fast off the pitch and later in his career he developed a 'slider' that was similar to the Flipper but was easier on his shoulder. Warne always has shoulder problems and the wrong-in strains the shoulder to bowl, hence he didn't bowl them often.

This is different to a normal off spin delivery that spins left to right. A 'googly' is a delivery that a leg spinner bowls with a leg spin action that spins from left to right. A 'googly' is also referred to as a 'wrong'un'. This is different to a normal leg spin delivery that spins right to left.

Saqlain Mushtaq was the inventor of the 'doosra ' and he bowled it quite well. The master of the Doosra is definitely Muttiah Muralidaran.

Thread starter jkartik Start date May 6, The googly is for the leg-spinner when he gets to turn it into the right hander in other words an off spin sort of delivery being bowled by the leg spinner ,whereas the doosra is just the opposite where the offspiin bowler turns it away from the right hander in other words a leg spin sort of delivery being bowled by the off spinner.

Hope that clears up some of the confusion. Club Cricketer. Googly - Legspinners delivery that turns the other way in disguise Doosra - Offspiners delivery that turns the other way in disguise Here, I made a picture. JPG The doosra is more deceptive than a googly, isn't it?

Anyway, what Sid said is spot-on! Iron-Haggis Club Cricketer. I think Murali's doosra is more deceptive because of his wrists. Apparently Vettori learnt the doosra, but said he had to change his action to get it right, therefore less deceptive.

A guy in my cricket team can bowl a doosra and says he needs to change his action a lot to get it right. I think it just depends on the bowler how deceptive the delivery is. Sureshot Executive member.
