Leg spin - dragging the ball down short
Hey guys, im new to the site and wanted to share a couple ideas about leg spin and get some feed back.
After a great 1st half of the season this year i recently have found myself getting the leg spin yips in the form of dragging the ball short with the ball sliding out of the fingers with less spin.
After hours experimenting this week and also through research, i believe that i have been far to open chested at point of delivery in an effort to add extra body rotation and trying to get my back leg through. Though this is advice u find from many sources, i believe this was causing me to drag the ball short and generaly wider of off stump.
Therefore by trying to be more side at delivery (which warne is), spinning it hard and letting the body and back leg naturaly follow through with the forward momentum and delivery effort, i have been ripping the pants off the ball, about a 70% improvement.
Of course i might be talking crap, but works for me.
