Question

Can you tell me how to bowl leg spin and off spin?

Answer 1

I think it is very hard to learn it from written suggestions. If you are interested in learning cricket's different fields then consult a coach if you can afford. If you can not afford a coach then ask a senior player to guide you and teach some tricks to you. However follow the reasonable written suggestion also I wish they help you.

Answer 2

Leg spin is quite difficult to explain:

Grip: Hold the ball so that the thumb rests across the seam and the ring finger rests along the seam.

In the delivery stride the wrists hould be 'cocked'

As the comes over face the ball toward the batsman and "give it a rip": turn the wrist sharply in an anticlockwise direction. The ball pivots about the thumb aided by the ring finger.

You can bowl variations point the thumb towards the batsman and impart the same spin - that's the top spinner or slider.

Bowl the ball out of the back of the hand. Thats the googly or wrong un - the off spinner bowled with a leg spinner action.

You can see a good video by Jenner - who taught Shane Warne on the site below.

Answer 3

Leg spin is a type of spin bowling in the sport of cricket. The stock delivery of a leg spinner is the leg break, and is bowled by using the wrist to spin the ball anti-clockwise at the point of delivery. When the ball bounces, the spin causes the ball to deviate sharply from right to left (as seen by the bowler) — i.e. away from the leg side of a right-handed batsman, which is the origin of the name "leg spin".



As with all spinners, leg spinners bowl the ball far slower than fast bowlers (45-55 miles per hour, whereas fast bowlers can top 90 mph), and typically use variations of flight by sometimes looping the ball in the air, allowing any cross-breeze and the aerodynamic effects of the spinning ball to cause the ball to dip and drift before bouncing and spinning (usually called "turning") sharply. While very difficult to bowl accurately, good leg spin is generally seen as the most threatening type of bowling to bat against, since the flight and sharp turn make the ball's movement extremely hard to read, and the turn away from the batsman (assuming he is right-handed) is more dangerous than the turn into the batsman generated by an off spinner.

Answer 4

leg spin:

hold the ball in your bowling hand in between your fingers so that the fingers are all covering the seam of the ball. then move your wrist in anti clockwise direction if u right hander and bowl the ball.. this is leg spin.

off spin:

hold the ball in your fingers and this time move your hands in clockwise direction while bowling.. it will b off spin

Answer 5

teh idea to bowl the legspin is to make the ball rotate anti clockwise. hold the ball in your hands and give it a rip to make it rotate in that fashion. for offspin, use your index finger to make the ball rotate clockwise while delivering
