Cricket - Spin Bowling Help?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Question

I really want to learn how to bowl spin (I'm a total beginner) and I just wanted to know if it is possible to spin the ball with an ordinary tennis ball. And can you tell me some easy types of spin bowling for me to start at. And can you give me a good website to learn it (grip, tips, etc.).

Thanks!!

Answer 1

the experts have already given u an answer my only suggestion wud be to have gud temperment and also not grip the ball tightly tht is u just have to hold it with the correct amount of pressure so it drifts well widout becoming a wide and it also shudnt roll on and skid widout spinning unless u bowl an arm ball which is also an useful delivery....

Answer 2

im seventeen, and i currently play for my state- NSW. im an all-rounder but leg-spin is my specialality. what you have to do is bowl the ball so that it takes around 5-7 seconds to reach the batsmen. this will create uncertainty. also grip the ball with your whole hand, hold it right back. then run in, but hop 3 times as you do. this should distract the batsmen. then fling the arm from side to side. dont bend your elbows or knees. this is important. good luck.

Every Bowls Can Be Spinned?

Not Only Tennis Ball But Also a Plastic Balls can Be Spin?

There Are Two Types Of Spinners

Wrist Arm & Fingers Spinners.

You From the beginnig of cricket, bowling has since being the most skillful  

and difficult of cricket skills to acquire. It is a technique by which a person  

(bowler) runs up to the wickets and throws the ball to the batsman,  

with a full arm, trying to hit the wicket to get the batsman out.  

There are many types of bowlers, from fast to slow, spin to swing.  

Spinners are slow bowlers who manage to get the ball to change  

direction when hitting the ground. Swingers are those bowlers  

who manage to get the ball to move away or towards a batsman.  

Good bowlers can be terribly confusing because of the

way they have perfected their bowling.

The Leg Spinner

The grip is two fingers up and two down, with the split  

between the second and third fingers, which are spread across the seam.  

The thumb rests on the ball and does not do anything.  

Shane says his grip is a little unusual because his first  

two fingers are closer than most leg-spinners.

The delivery - The spin on the ball is roughly 30 degrees  

so that the ball both spins sideways and dips with the overspin.  

Closest variation is the top-spinner, where the seam points to the

wicketkeeper and the ball over-spins straight down the pitch.

  

  

Wrist Spin Bowling

The Flipper

The grip - The fingers are brought further forward on the ball  

and the thumb plays a part.  Shane says his grip is not too  

tight as this can stop the ball fizzing out of his hand.

The delivery - The trick is to not bowl it too fast.  

When he stays relaxed and squeezes the ball out through  

fingers and thumb (an instant after the centre picture),  

the underspin makes the ball slice through the air more quickly.

Wrist Spin Bowling

The Wrong 'Un

The grip - Same as the leg-spinner.

The delivery - The front shoulder has to drop a little to  

allow the wrist to come right over the top and the ball to come  

out with the opposite spin on it - off-spin rather than leg-spin.  

At the last moment you have to flick the ball out of  

the off-spin way with your fingers.

  

  

Wrist Spin Bowling

The Zooter

The grip - The ball is held much further back in the  

palm of the hand, which holds the ball back as you let it go.

The delivery - The ball is pushed out the front of the  

hand, from the palm, and either floats or skids through the air,

maybe swinging in a little.  

The seam is straight up and down and the zooter does not spin.
