It is impossible to bowl a doosra without throwing the ball. To get your arm in that position your arm has to be bent over the legal amount. Muralitharans stock ball was originally illegal but they changed the laws, now his stock ball in 100% legal but his doosra is not. We are very lucky to see a bowler like Murali, we will never see another bowler like him. Plainly because they wont get through the system.
