I bowled Sachin with a teesra: Saqlain

Former Pakistan off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq, who dismissed Sachin Tendulkar in the All Stars League held recently in the Unites States of America, revealed that he bowled the legendary batsman with a 'teesra' - a delivery he developed, while he was playing County Cricket in England. Speaking to Wisden India, while playing in the Masters Champions League in the UAE, Saqlain said, "I had developed the teesra in County. I didn't play at the top level much after that, so it remained a bit of a mystery. People talked about it. I talked about it. But no one really knew about it. "I think a lot of people believed me, because I had pioneered the doosra. Maybe some people didn't believe me. "I did bowl it a few times in the English county circuit, but that didn't get much publicity. I bowled it at the Cricket All-Stars to Sachin, and that got people talking," he said. Saqlain, who ho has played for 49 Tests picking 208 wickets for Pakistan also explained the trick to bowl the teesra. "It's a bit difficult to explain - the trick is in the grip. What happens is that the ball travels through the air slightly faster than usual, but once it pitches, there is a bit of backspin.
