Nothing less than Australian cricket's integrity is at stake over the question of whether or not young spin bowlers should be taught to deliver the doosra, the national selector John Inverarity believes

Quote from: John Inverarity
"The question is being asked now about 'do we develop the doosra bowlers or not'. That's a question of integrity for Cricket Australia. I don't think we do. I just think it's a serious issue, and I think we've got to keep our integrity and teach our bowlers to bowl properly."

John Inverarity's views on the "doosra" seem pretty extreme. Is it just a case of the Aussie selector whinging because none of his players can bowl one, or has he got a point?

Discussion open. :D

I think it's a fair point but if we had Saeed Ajmal I doubt he'd be saying anything  :-X

i don't think he would be playing for Australia with an action like that.It seems it is only the chuckers who can bowl the doosra any way.

i think the problem is that we havent got Warnie in the team anymore. We need a good front line spinner in the team and at the moment Lyon is the man.
