Alerting

Alert Cron for weekly TUES & THURS

I am trying to write a cron expression to trigger a report two time a week.
once on Tuesday at midnight
once on Thursday at midnight.

Attempting to write standard cron, I came up with this 0 0 0 0 ? * TUE,THU though it Splunk says 'invalid cron'.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make this schedule so that Splunk can save it as a scheduled alert, or maybe correct me where I went wrong?

Thank you guys!!
