Well, you're not really giving very helpful advice on how to actually spin it, are youbenchmark00 said:IMO the key is if you are a wrist spinner, dont try and spin the ball too much, wrist spinners spin the ball extremely easily, its not hard at all, you encounter problems when you try and rip the ball a mile, when you do that you pull the ball down and it will be a half tracker,lol.... just really focus on pitching the ball in a good area with little spin
hmmm i have to say i disagree with you, i find it easier if your relaxed at the crease and only put energy into your last movement, this way you will reduce the chance of over or under pitching.... personal preference i supposethierry henry said:Oh yeah, and I don't suggest you try to mimic Warne's run-up. For most mere mortals it is easier to actually run in hard to the crease, like MacGill.
Really? I thought 130k was more realistic. If he can bowl 140 off a spinners run then why doesn't he bowl pace? Personally I'm only a medium pacer, but find that I can bowl almost as quickly off 2 paces as off 20, so I can bowl the quicker one quite nicely. Chris Gayle does it well also.GoT_SpIn said:Damn those afridi quicker balls are 140 km/h
lol the ball spins naturally, its not a big movement, just a little flick i suppose, the areas are the biggest problemthierry henry said:Well, you're not really giving very helpful advice on how to actually spin it, are you
You must be a real powerhouse then. I would say most people find it a lot easier to a) be accurate, and b) spin the ball, if they actually build up some momentum.benchmark00 said:hmmm i have to say i disagree with you, i find it easier if your relaxed at the crease and only put energy into your last movement, this way you will reduce the chance of over or under pitching.... personal preference i suppose
lol must be just me then, i put all my energy into the delivery stride, with a pretty fast rotationthierry henry said:You must be a real powerhouse then. I would say most people find it a lot easier to a) be accurate, and b) spin the ball, if they actually build up some momentum.
Like Cameron White?benchmark00 said:lol must be just me then, i put all my energy into the delivery stride, with a pretty fast rotation
Josh said:I'm a medium bowler, but I can be a dangerous leg-spinner in the nets (thinking of becoming a bowler who offers both styles). Anyway... You need to hold the ball pretty loose in your hands. Don't "squeeze" the ball, you need to be relaxed as you come to the wicket, gripping the ball hard will make your body tense up. Then it's just a matter of getting into the delivery position, and having whatever grip you're comfortable with, then a slight rotation of the wrist as you release the ball and it should turn.

thanks that helps a lot cheers
Excellent point. If early in my spell I get smashed bowling leggies (usually by a batsman set, or just a top player of spin), I unintentionally start gripping the ball tight attempting to ensure I get the length right. Instead it does the opposite, and I actually lose control on many occasions.Josh said:Don't "squeeze" the ball, you need to be relaxed as you come to the wicket, gripping the ball hard will make your body tense up.
