Mysterious spinners

     In the history of cricket we have seen many mysterious bowlers who were unplayable at first then after some years they are apple pie  for the batsmen and so I am going to give you guys some details about world's past and present mysterious bowlers who were a nightmare to batsmen.
I am going to start with a mysterious spinner who is well known to the world cricket and he is none other than srilankan spinner ajantha mendis.Ajantha is considered mysterious as he can bowl flipper,off spin,leg spin,slow medium,faster balls,top spin and googlies and his variation and length also varies to ball by ball and so he was a greatest nightmare to most of the international cricketers.He is the inventor of carrom ball which is now followed my india's ravichandran ashwin.But soon ajantha's legacy has come to an end as many batsmen has opened the mystery and now at present he isn't even a regular bowler in lankan squad as there is no mystery left.
   Now it is the turn of former southafrican left arm chinaman paul adams.Paul adams's action was more unorthodox as it surprised many cricketers but soon faded during australia tour due to lack of variety.But paul was a regular bowler after 1995 but faded during 2000's that led to his retirement from professional cricket during 2008.But paul adams is still remembered for his unorthodox action by cricket fans.
       Now we can see pakistan's greatest mysterious spinner saqlain mushtaq who is considered as the inventor of doosra ,teesra,chotha and arm ball.saqlain is one of the lethal spinner ever produced by pakistan and he is one of the best off break in the world where the batsmen find it more difficult to tackle but during 2003, saqlain left pakistan and settled in  england and now atpresent saqlain is eligible to play for england and now too saqlain is a nightmare in english county cricket as he is inventing many innovative techniques.
       Another pakistani mysterious bowler is saeed ajmal who is becoming a dangerous nightmare in present day cricket.Ajmal is a off break bowler who can bowl mysterious doosra and teesra and confuse the batsmen.He fell in controversy due to his doosra  and teesra.But besides all these controversies saeed is a great gem for the pakistan team.
        It is none other than windies mystery sunil narine who is until now considered a mysterious off break bowler and can bowler in various length and line and narine is a star performer in the ipl 2012 who is  a nightmare for batsmen in ipl 2012 and champions league 2011.He wasn't able to shine in his test debut against england on the final test but is still considered the best off break bowler for windies who has good international future.
