We all know that having a role model against whome you can compare yourself is always useful.I dont play any organized cricke-just once in a while.I bowl a rather different type of spin delivery,which comes naturally to me and in fact is about the only kind of delivery i can bowl.I have written about in it in the post Strange Kind of Spin Bowling.Despite many posters claiming it to be the carrom ball or doosra,it is not.For one,it is ripped with the side of middle finger,thumb and index finger and breaks away from the right hander(i am right arm).The seam is about towards legslip and it has a component of backspin.I wanted to know that do you know any bowler in international cricket who bowls this so i can watch videos of him or do you have any experience with this? like have you ever faced it or bowled it. thanks.
 
I'm guessing you could be releasing this as a leg spinner. You're gripping the ball with just middle,thump and index with the seam pointing towards leg slip. Obviously, you don't seem to be doing this with a cocked wrist, but middle finger is imparting spin on the ball towards offside.

It is a carrom ball. I used to bowl that when i was small playing front yard cricket with tennis ball. Standing though
