I think all these "spin mentors" really need to wake up and smell the coffee, they need to realise that's its year 2009, and every finger-spinner around the world is either bowling a doosra or trying to develop one, because since the pitches are flat like ****, they know they won't last long without having any variations.

Three spinners with the most test wickets in 2009? Swann, Shakib & Harris. All seem to be coping pretty well without one, then.
