I have been playing..It's great experience playing spin..Can't wait to play spin in career reading the spin surviving the session... Great work by BA..
@MattW I attach a video showing the situation. Right arm wrist spin. The standard leg break you rotate LS anti-clockwise (ball 1 in the video). Top spin (ball 2), however defaults to clockwise rotation...and opposing this gives low revs and weak input (ball 3). Applying flight (ball 4) changes the direction of rotation back to anti-clockwise, whereas applying bounce (ball 5) changes it to clockwise. Things get stranger with deliveries after about 1:15 mins where applying flight now seems to require either clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation.
Talking for all type of spinners..It should be more of the slight change of path not a big turn..I agree with leg spinner, Piyush Chawala is one who bowls googlies as majority and turn very well but should be similar to offspin turn as you are rotating from back of the hand to bowl googly..In between proper offbreak spin and straight delivery would be good IMO [For highest skill in googly or doosra]..
bro, googly turns more than doosra
I think the main point is that degree and speed of turn should not be a constant linked to the selected delivery. It should be affected by pitch conditions, the speed of delivery, amount of flight, the revs and which part of the ball impacts with the surface. I want to be able to bowl deliveries that turn square on some (rare) occasions when all of these align (whether it is conventional spin or the 'wrong un') and at other times the turn will be less or slower...again depending on all of the factors that govern turn, not just the selected delivery. I think if we can get this in DBC17, playing spinners will take on greater tactical importance. In DBC14 I can open a test match with a spinner on a flat pitch or I can bring him on on day 5...and pretty much will produce the same deliveries and turn.
