In Mike Selvey's Guardian column today
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2012/jan/28/pakistan-england-changing-world-order
he used the term reverse wrist spinner to describe off-break/ doosra bolwers like Ajmal.

(I found a couple of other previous uses of the term reverse wrist spinner on Google - such as this time ten years ago on cricinfo by Sambit Bal - http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/226249.html) . Perhaps the cricket journalists have been saying it for a while?
