Your Cricket The Art of Legspin

[Varun]

I just discovered , if you grip the ball in offspinner way,take a little run-up keeping your palm towards the leg side and then click your fingers , you get a ball spinning from right to left ( talking of a right hand bowler).
I don't think it is doosra cause there the grip is entirely different.You just give the ball a hard click.
It spins like a leg spin everytime . I don't know what it is. Does someone know here?

That is a pure leg break The clicking does nothing really, it's your fingers bowling a genuine leg break.

Many bowlers bowl the finger version of the leg break eg. Adil Rashid

But I think Leg Break includes turning of wrists and there is no turning of wrist here, only fingers.

Yeah, you don't need wrists to make a leg break.

It is just that now you don't have the flipper, which is the down side of bowling finger leg breaks.

Kumble. All finger. No wrist. You dont need wrist to bowl leg spin, but you wont get much turn. If you use both wrist and finger, you will get more turn.

Can someone give me tips to bowl faster leg spinners? I've been able to bowl only about 60-75km/hr maximum! By Fingers (not by wrists).

 

[McLOVIN]

i bowl sim-up, fast bowlers grip, with same action.

 

[McLOVIN]

OMG my line and length!!! :

 

[Varun]

Two problems :

1.Tips to generate pace around 80-90 Km/hr
2.Tips to bowl good length spinners without getting dead ball.

80-90 kmhr?? are you crazy, unless you're tall and have extremely good upper body strength you wont be able to bowl a leggie that fast

 

[aussie1st]

Think that answers what my leggie pace is like I notice the batters have a fair bit of time with my bowling so they can adjust to my spin.

I've figured out why I wasn't spinning the ball, my grip had drifted to a point where it was so far off what Warne does. Went back to the simple 2 up, 2 down method that Terry Jenner mentioned and now I've got my turn back. Just need to pitch it up more.
