I believe that the holy grail of finger spin bowling is imparting top spin. And i don’t think you can impart top spin if your wrist is cocked or the fingers are too tight around the ball (i struggle with this myself). The way i like to think about this is, i like to feel that my triceps are rotating if my wrist is cocked my forearms get too tight and i can’t go up the back of the ball. Have seen a lot of tennis coaches say this about hitting with top spin too. You can’t impart top spin on the ball in tennis if your wrist is locked or your grip is too tight
Thanks a lot, just started back age 47 after 18 years out, as a left armer my natural delivery has always spun the ball into a right handed batter so I'm gonna work on this as an alternative delivery to add to my options, very well explained, thank you.
Hi first of all amazing videos. I am learning to spin but most of by deliveries stay flat and skids on. I get wickets but i want to turn the ball more. Instead almost all my deliveries become armers. I have decent accuracy but can’t spin the ball as much.
This series is the first thing that has allowed me to make sense of spin bowling (as a leftie as well), thanks for making these mate greatly appreciated
A lot of it is trial and error, experimenting, trying different wrists positions, getting a feeling for different angles of your wrist. Having the body awareness of knowing the angle of your wrist is on release can help you put different spin on the ball. Have fun playing around with it. Maybe try to use a two coloured ball to check the spin on the ball and which way the seam is pointing mid air.
Thanks for the comment @melvinpaul85, and thank you for watching the video! I’m working on a video about line and length, but generally you want to bounce the ball 4 metres away from the stumps, this is deemed a good length where the batter can’t smother the spin on the front foot from the crease, and the ball can threaten the stumps if the batter goes on the back foot. Hope this helps
Fantastic video I rarely leave any comments because I’m lazy but the video you have put your part one and part two were really really helpful for me despite I’ve been playing cricket for 40 years
Hi @sandeepkhare4810, thank you for taking the time to watch my videos, and leave a comment! I’m so glad they are helpful, and amazing that you’ve played cricket for 40 years!
This usually means our shoulders are rotating horizontally rather than vertically - try to get a higher release point, and not to cock your wrist back - like how it is explained in the video. Good luck
Really good video thank you. Left handed bowler here but 30 years since I played! The wife wasn’t too happy when I started practising in the kitchen and took out her precious bone china 🙃🫣
How to identity the ball which is coming in (arm ball) and which goes away or even straight one. What are the clues or hints. When left arm baller bowl to right handed I’m struggling to get those. 😢
Thank you for explaining it clearly. I didnt know why my balls weren't spinning. Now i know that i have a problem in my action that i need to change. Thank you so much for this informative video ! You have helped many cricketers like me on how to bowl offspin properly
Just chanced upon this gem. Having got back into cricket after a decade, all my off spinners come out as undercutters "the flying saucer". When you said about seamer wrist cocking position it all made sense. Hopefully I can relearn off spin. Im getting good rpm, its just the seam angle is all wrong.
Sir iam fan of your information .so much informatics about off spin bowling it is easy to understand and help to understand others. Iam so much blessed having this video as a professional coach .thank you make leg spin video and many more like this.
