Taking into account white ball as well, reverse is quite easily 1. For tests only, the wobble ball gets close.

Except in a very few cases, Doosra barely did anything. It mostly got bowlers in trouble.

Surely that's not true. Wobbly ball is pretty standard now.

I would say it had a big impact in the 2000s but then tapered off as they got strict about action enforcement.

Reverse is why Australia lost the 2005 Ashes.

Ok but England would have still lost if their bowling attack didn't have new potency.

Why are we still pretending the "wobble ball" is some new innovation

It came around the 2000s formally.

This is like saying batting aggressively is an innovation from the 2020s because no one ever called it Bazball before
