Re: Off Spinning Guide well mainly I have a long on, silly mid off, cover-point, extra cover, 1st slip, deep backward square, keeper (no brainer), midwicket, short leg, and the last fielder gets moved around a fair bit, like for my top spinner i'll bring him in to short mid on around 2 balls...

Re: Off Spinning Guide ahh the backspinner is something i have a pretty good grip of, i sometimes pull them out of the bag with out knowing... they can really mess with the batsmen... by the way, when i bowl to some of the top order first graders they say i get a fair bit of movement with...
