Paulie asked in SportsCricket · 1 decade ago

How do I spin a cricket ball as I am worthy and have the same action as left off spinner?

I always find it quite hard to spin in the ball to either a left hander or a right hander and I don't quite know what is an effective technique for bowling offspin. I have been showed numerous ways but they haven't helped out at all.

An advice from a fellow cricketer to another?

Cheers!

    Take this road of bowling for you.

    1st road: Walk Up and Bowl method.

    Standing approximately three paces from stumps, facing toward batter, walk forward by stepping first* with the left leg, then with the right, and again with the left. The first step (right) sees the leg across the body to land on and parallel to the bowling crease thus beginning to bring the body into a side-on position. When moving into the side o position, throw the front arm high & bring the bowling hand to the face. On the fifth step (left) commence the arm rotation. Step across the body to face the opposite direction after delivery.

    I'm an allrounder (19) but, I prefer to be a fantastic bowler.
