multani Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Bowlers have a lot of deliveries in their repetoire if they are half decent. Which one special delivery would you classify the bowler with. I'll start with some: Saqlain Mushtaq: The Doosra THE pioneer of the Doosra. A must have delivery for an off-spinner in the current setup. Irfan Pathan: the ball that swings in. This was evident in the strategy employed by the Indian think tank against Mohammad Yousuf. Shoaib Akhtar : yorker Started off his career by dismissing both Dravid and Tendulkar with two of the greatest yorkers Zaheer Khan : incutter? Which others would you add? Link to comment
DomainK Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Mostly all great bowlers have more than just one delivery. I remember Venky Prasad's slower one consumed many batsmen. Link to comment

Malcolm Marshall: Invisible delivery ( sheer pace) Micheal Holding: late wing of any kind Mohinder Amarnath: whatever he bowled to win India to WC in 1983 final Anil Kumble: Ripper (+ 10 deliveries that consumed the whole innings of one cricket team :yay:) Venkatesh Prasad: sendoff ball to Aamir Sohail Sachin Tendulkar: Owns Warne, Googly to Moin Khan, crisis ball to save match against WI Mohammed Sami: Getting spanked every ball by Sehwag BTW while Akhtar's yorkers were awesome he will be remembered more for his injuries, breakdowns and indiscipline rather than his bowling :giggle::giggle: Link to comment
