Deadly late in-swing
Imran Khan. When I sat there watching him bowl, I was myself playing active cricket and as is normal one invariably imagined oneself at the crease wondering how the hell one would deal with this live hell. I do not recall feeling anything but a sense of complete helplessness as the Indians faced ball after ball of what appeared like completely unplayable stuff from this master bowler. Even the great Gavaskar was in deep trouble and only Amarnath of all Indian batsmen seemed unperturbed and not made to look like a novice

A little bit more obscure, but can we think of the off spinner who had the best arm ball? Dan Vettori and Herath take the cake for me.
I think this is what you are talking of SJS

And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta
One that straightens
Bowl a series of in-swingers and then one that straightens from a wide angle -- Got Walsh lot of wickets..he was a master at it or do you just bowl one straight?

Speaking of Imran, here is what Jemima his ex-wife tweeted
Old army bloke to me, "I was a great admirer of your father's" Me- gracious smile. "...when he used to walk to the crease..." Me- air punch
best name for a spinner

Just coming into the attack for the PM's XI right now.
Also noticed that Craig McDermott's son Alister is playing in the same match.
As happens with such interviews, though, there is always a question you later wish you'd asked but didn't. For me that question was: "Why do you continue to care about cricket?" After all, the late John Arlott once said of Brearley that he understands, in the greater scheme of things, it doesn't really matter.
Perhaps the answer to the unasked question might have been this: "We all look for things to give meaning to life and sometimes they can even be found in a game." - Tim Lane, SMH (2015)
Floater ( one of the original earlier version of doosra)..Batsman thinks he is there but he isn't.. Prasanna supposed to be a master of it..
