Non turning back of the hander, I think we can all bowl those 

it has revs on it.. thats why someone like sachin got beaten. it swerved in and skidded on to him. if it were one of our own non turning back of the handers, it would have been deposited 40 feet into the stands.

It's like Warnes "Zooter" - never existed and sole purposes was to make batsman think he had something else to bowl. The Teesra is the off spin relation of Warnes "slider", basically a ball that goes straight on but you think it's going to do all sorts.

Cheers for that

A retired Sachin misses a straight ball - but because it is Sachin - it must be a fantastic new delivery which would bamboozle any batsman in the world...

hehehe

I love Saqlain, he is a hero - but this is a massive case of over hype by the commentators

Why would someone who has retired from the game waste his time developing a new mystery ball. So he can outwit clubbies  in Lashings games?? I doubt it, it's just a quicker ball.

Just because he's retired doesn't mean he stops practising his craft! My mind boggled at this comment it really did. The real master spinners never ever stop. Clarrie grimmet was working on all different kinds of flippers until he died, and guys like benaud, saqqy and warne kept on coaching, practising, mastering their arts and passing them on to the next gen. Qadir and mushie did the same. Did you see that video of warne coaching Yasir Shah? Mushie practically grabbed the ball off yasir so he could show warne how good his flipper was now because he never mastered it whilst he was still playing international cricket. These blokes do it for the sheer joy of it because cricket is their life blood.

Also...saqi warned us before the game: https://twitter.com/Saqlain_Mushtaq/status/664540293392388096

As did Warnie, at the pre match interview.
