Krejza hopes for more doosra victims

[TumTum]

I feel a bit sorry for Krejza. Agreed he got clobbered all around the park on debut in India, but he still picked up 8/215 on debut! He seems to learn his lessons fast & I was really disappointed to see him not make the cut after 1 bad game against SA.

With that doosra he's bowled, he's shown that he has the stomach for a fight. Can't wait to see him playing for Australia again

He is still getting clobbered in domestic level.

Here's a screen shot when he releases the ball. Bit of a bend, but it's probably the same when he bowls the regular offy.

Maybe Aussies should appoint a certain Saqlain mustaq as their spin coach!
He is the father of Doosra

He's busy working with New Zealand at the moment.

Agreed. He's the Father, Mother, Son, Daughter cum Inventor of the Doosra

oops ok! who is he training anyway?

The batsmen mostly. He's been working with Jeetan Patel but for the most part he was brought in to help the batsmen combat the Sri Lankan and Pakistan spinners.

No he isn't. He has a economy rate of below 3 in FRC and of 3.82 in OD this domestic season, by far the best of any spinner.

What about SS and 4 day games?

 

[Covvy]

And that is why he should be at least given another go in the test side. Picks up 8 wickets in an innings, then gets dropped. TBH, Hauritz is the safe option for Australia, and again the not so strong Windies, we need to try a risk.

He became a doosra addict and bowled it nearly every ball so he is better off with all the other addicts in the Pakistan team.

 

[Themer]

Ripper of a ball that he could yet turn out to be a very good international cricketer.

 

[aussie1st]

What about SS and 4 day games?

3.15 with an average of 38 and SR 79
McGain 9 wickets from 2 matches at 26.22, economy 2.53 SR 63
North 8 wickets from 3 matches at 30, economy 2.28 SR 79

Krejza has given better control but he hasn't been taking enough wickets.

Yup, the doosra both defined and ended his career.

The typical chucking fallacy. You're trying to show that someone's chucking or not with a still photo. You cannot. An arm can be as bent as you want, as long as it doesn't straighten. The common cricket fan is often misinformed that the arm needs to be straight, which it doesn't.
