Saqlain Mushtaq, the Pakistani off-spinner who took 208 wickets in a career spanning 49 Tests, yesterday offered his services as coach to the Australians who were bewitched, bothered and bewildered by the mysterious web of the 'doosra' spun by Saqlain's chela Saeed Ajmal in the first ODI in Dubai last week.
