The commentators claim his wrist is completely different and it's some kind of googly. I couldn't tell myself, given the limited replay angle, but clearly bamboozled Sachin.

Any guesses as to what it was? Maybe a kind of off spinning flipper?

Looks like a glorified straighter one. Whatever it was, it proves why saqulain was a legend.

Sachin seemed undone more by the pace than anything else. Wasn't a doosra for sure. Ended up a flipper probably due to the thrust on the ball.

looks like it was either a flipper, or an in swinger.

Just a quicker ball that sachin tried to make room to cut.

The inventer of the doosra invents the "teesra"

Looked like a quicker ball to me. Couldn't notice the wrist action the commentator was on about

[brokenbat]

definitely quicker...but I don't think it was a "typical" change of pace. international batsmen (especially those like sachin) can easily detect those. this one tailed in a bit and was much flatter...which is why I think it was some type of flipper - and this would also explain why the commentators were saying his wrist was "very different"

If we are talking about cramping batsman up by firing it in tight at leg stump then it makes Eddie Hemmings or Jack Simmons the inventor of the Teesra!

I've seen that dismissal hundreds of times in one day county cricket from the 80s. They use to bowl to 3-6 fields and the batsman use to back away and try and mow it through the offside, god knows how many times Gooch was out like this (he hit his fair share as well). Some real tosh is talked in the modern game.

He's eligible for Eng selection...just saying...

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.

I'm pretty sure he calls it the teesra - what that actually means other than "the third one" i have no idea

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.

He's had this one for a long time, he calls it a jalebi and it's basically just his own version of a flipper/back spinner squeezed out from under the hand.

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

[sgcricket]

according to me his version of the flipper. and the commentators are right. the wrist and release is different from an off-spinner.
