I am very inconsistent when I bowl this and only one in 6 deliveries pitch ok. I want to persist with it as the 1 ball that lands really keeps low and is rarely picked. I use the click fingers method and What I have found so far is that unless you start with the back of the wrist facing the...

I thought I would ask a question. I would like to know where the majority of leg spin bowlers focus during the delivery. In the past I looked at the batsman and bowled too many full balls. I now focus on the batters feet or at a drivable length and this has improved my consistency. Would like...

Hi All, hoping you can help with some new issues and disasters that have been plaguing my improvement. While i seem to be giving the ball a fair rip and landing the ball consistently in the warm up prior to games, the moment i step up the the crease to bowl i feel like my wrist is like jelly and...

Really appreciate the guidance. I'm having success by concentrating on 1. Over loose grip 2. Holding my wrist cocked through delivery release 3. Spinning up and over the wrist This is a great forum and has been invaluable to my improvement. I am also finding it easier to spin up with better...

Hi clean prophet, this is great advice as I have often felt that my hand is coming around and facing the batsmen like that of a slider in order to get maximum side spin. This felt like the ball is coming out from the front of the hand and not off the third finger. My thoughts are that this is...

Hi Dave, sorry for late reply. It feels like I have a loose grip but perhaps it tightens when I get into my stride. The feeling I get especially when I first start to bowl is a feeling that the ball is not fizzing out but sliding out. After a dozen deliveries the odd ball starts to rip and I can...

Hi Bosie, it's been great to read your posts on the leg spin disasters as I have been so frustrated with my progress. I have been bowling medium pace in matches but practicing leg spin quietly on the side as I wish to master the art enough to prolong my career. My question is: what do you...
