Very Beginner Leg Spinner
Hey all, I'm a new cricketer (well played in backyard for about 6 months, on and off) and the bowling style that I have chosen is Leg Spin. I didn't consciously choose it, however it was the way I subconsciously bowled. I am bowling on a very dodgy pathway, (15m long, 3m wide, ) made up of concrete and grass, so the bowl wont always bounce the way i want it too. I am just wondering though, what type of grip should I use. This is the grip I use at the moment

Do I need to move my fingers further forward so my middle knuckles are on the seam? I use my thumb to spin the ball (which i have heard is bad), what can I do to get out of the habit?
Haha sorry for the question overload,
Thanks
