From former India spinner Harbhajan Singh to former Mushtaq's compatriot, several spinners mastered the art of bowling the 'doosra'.

"Indian construction workers are amazingly brave but bloody hell I reckon they might need a union to demand a bit more site safety. This is 9 stories up with another 9 to go," Lalor tweeted.
