Who was the forefather of (spin) chuckers?

Saqlain was a fantastic bowler and he definitely did not chuck. But all other bowlers who tried to bowl doosra after him chucked. Take a cricket ball and try bowling a doosra. Is is impossible to deliver without chucking unless you adopt that skill from childhood like Saqlain. That is why you don't see off spinners from Eng/Aust bowl doosra. They are screened and ask not to bowl all those illegal deliveries from childhood in school cricket.

Saqlain was not a chucker........he simply got found out as a bowler........Sehwag brought the shutter down on his career in his first triple century innings....... Murali set the precedent for chucking.......whenever people point out Murali's deformation.......just bring up BS Chandrasekhar's case......he suffered from childhood polio and still bowled with a clean action....... I remember that the BCCI also supported Murali at the time.......so our chewtiya board is also complicit.......

Saqlain was successful immediately because he brought something different which not many batsmen would read at that time.

Do we have any photo to show' date=' cause it seems pretty anecdotal like pace bowler Charlie Grifith.[/quote']There was some footage. I think it was an Eng-Aus test series. may be in cric info. Will try to find that out. The action looked ugly.

Muralitharan of course. Saqlain I am not sure if chucked. What is this with so many spinners bowling with full-sleeves.
Whoever has a dodgy action bowls with full sleeves. Saqlain's action was not completely clean too,
