Only a few players can master spin and there are only countable number of cricketers who are experts in this art. Shane Warne, Anil Kumble, muralitharan, saqlain mushtaq and harbajan singh are few among those who have piled up wickets . leg break and the off spinner are the conventional one but these legends have managed to find a new technique to to tease the batsmen of high standard by bowling different deliveries with the same action. GOOGLY and DOOSRA are prominent variations. Googly is nothing but bowling with the same action of the leg spin and allowing the ball to turn the other side,this is done with the help of the little finger and changing the spin at the last moment to confuse the batsmen and thats why it is called the wrong one.this is specialized by shane warne and, kumble did it well. and then came the doosra the famous off spinner saqlain the fonder of doosra managed to release the balling between the two fingers and spinning the ball away from the right hander . there are other new deliveries found in the modern day cricket which includes flipper, theesra and others , wish they find a few more to make the game interesting...

Anil Kumble the so called jumbo of Indian cricket showed the last glimpse by taking an extraordinary catch of Mitchell john son with his injured hands which happened to be the final wicket of the innings and he finished up taking 3 wickets even with the injured left hand and sourav , much talked about his form ,he really showed what a player he is and after announcing his retirement he looked relaxed and scored a century in his last series and to me this was the best ever retirement given to a Indian and it was really a treat to watch them enjoying their last few moments , but really cricket team and the whole country miss your action guys . wish you people a very happy life even after cricket.
