Bowling Spin

First i Would like to tell you about the basic spin ball:

1. The more revolutions you can put on the ball, the better chance you have of getting more turn when the ball pitches.

   1. The middle joints of the index and middle fingers are well spread across the seam. ...
   2. Turning the wrist and the index finger generate the spin on the ball, turning the ball in a clockwise direction.

   
   
2. Now I would like to tell some variations that you can do in spinning a ball

3. 1.Leg spin

4. 1. It is often described as wrist spin because, unlike off spinners, the revolutions of the ball are generated by the wrist rather than the fingers. The top joints of the index and middle fingers are across the seam, with the ball resting between a bent third finger and the thumb.

   2.Off spin

5. 
   

   1. The middle joints of the index and middle fingers are well spread across the seam. The ball rests against the third finger but the thumb has little involvement. Turning the wrist and the index finger generate the spin on the ball, turning the ball in a clockwise direction.

   2. Variations in Bowling Spin:

      Let’s start this chapter for my off-spin friends with some definitions.
      The off-spin bowler has six standard deliveries in his armour: The Off-Spinner, Arm Ball (or floater), Top Spinner, Faster Ball, Under-cutter, Back spinner and the Doosra.
      It is a common misconception that a young spin bowler must master his stock delivery before bowling variation deliveries. This is not necessary. Feel free to practise all deliveries at the same time until you have perfected them all.
      It helps if your stock delivery is perfect, but you do not have to wait until it is before you work on your variations.
      Here are the common deliveries:
      Off break – Breaks from off to the leg side, after drifting from leg to the off side. Seam is angled towards leg slip.
      Top spinner – Continues straight on, with a lot of dip (due to The Magnus Effect). Seam is angled towards the batsman.
      Arm ball/Floater – Bowled at the same speed as the off break but with the seam up like a seam bowler. Ball swings towards off-side (or goes on with the arm). Seam is angled between the batsman and first slip.
      Doosra – Breaks from leg to the off side but with an action that appears to the batsman as an off-break. Seam is angled towards first slip. Alternatively it is bowled with a scrambled seam over the back of the hand.
      Quicker ball – Same as the leg spinner. Simply pushed through quicker, with either an off-break or an arm ball grip.
      Back spinner/ Teesra / Jalebi/ Slider– Opposite of the top spinner, as the ball spins backwards (away from the batsman), floats in the air (as oppose to dipping), and skids low on bouncing. The seam is angled towards the batsman.
      The name Teesra was first used by Saqlain Mushtaq when he started bowling this delivery and Jalebi was used by commentators when they first saw it. But, they are nothing else but orthodox back spinners.
      I do use the words ‘nothing else’ very casually. Almost no offie I know can bowl this. But Saqlain was able to do magic with a ball – so I guess he could.
      This delivery is very much the same as the leg-spinners slider. Although, slider is very rarely used for this delivery when bowled by an off-spinner.
      Under cutter/Square spinner– This deliver skids on and is closely associated with the back spinner.
      However, the seam here is angled horizontally (opposite of the arm ball) and the hand cuts underneath when released. The ball will skid on or turn depending on if it hits the seam or not.
      The term Square Spinner comes from the name Graham Swann gives to his under cutter. Some commentators will refer to this delivery (which he uses to great effect against lefties) as his slider.
      Although the above namings are correct, who cares if you call it something else? You can call my slider whatever you want, as long as it takes wickets then I’m smiling
