The Doosra

It's the word that's suddenly on everyone's lips in cricket. 
But what is a 'doosra' and what does it do? 
In Hindi and Urdu, doosra means "second" or "other". 
Put simply, the doosra is the off-spinner's version of the googly. 
How to bowl the googly 
Over the past five years, the world's top off spinners have developed the doosra to baffle batsmen. 
It looks very similar to a normal off-break, but rather than spin towards the bat, it goes the other way like a leg break. 
It's bowled from the back of the hand with a lot of top spin, but the wrist still moves in a clockwise direction.

A doosra (Urdu: دوسرا, doo-srah) is a particular type of delivery by an off-spin bowler in the sport of cricket, invented by Pakistani cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq.[1] The term comes from the word do (pronounced 'doh' or 'doe'), which means "two" in Urdu and Hindi, and, in this context, "the other one". (Literally, it means "second" or "the second one").[2] Saqlain Mushtaq also invented a variant of the Doosra, a ball which he calls the Teesra, coming from Urdu and Hindi for the third one.

Pan-Turanian

Turanism, or Pan-Turanism, is a political movement for the union of all Turanian peoples. It implies not merely the unity of all Turkic peoples (as in Pan-Turkism), but also the unity of Turks with Mongols, Tungus, Koreans, Japanese, Hungarians, Finns, Estonians, and Ryukyuans. Therefore, Turanism is the collective inclusion of all Ural-Altaic peoples[citation needed], and so can be understood as "pan-Altaicism". Ural-Altaic linguistic hypothesis inspired the emergence of Hungarian and Japanese branches of the "Turanian Society" in the 1920s and 1930s.

Madali

Omar’s son, Mohammed Ali (Madali Khan) ascended to the throne in 1821 at the age of 12. During his reign, the Khanate of Kokand reached its greatest territorial extent. In 1841, the British officer Captain Arthur Conolly failed in an effort to persuade the various khanates to put aside their differences, in an attempt to counter the growing penetration of the Russian Empire into the area. He left Kokand for Bukhara in an ill-fated attempt to rescue fellow officer Colonel Charles Stoddart in November 1841 and both were executed in 1842.
