Answer 6

I would suggest that you do some coaching courses, e.g. Coaching a Cricket team and Level 1 Coaching through your local club.

The reason I suggest this way is, as a level 2 coach myself who still plays, I found the skills they teach you are invaluable for your own game and others if you want to coach as well. The people you can meet on these courses, county players, coaches and even international cricketers will all be able to help you as well.

If this is not your thing then I endorse some of the other responses here, practice your stock ball a lot, practice your spinning action all the time, and make sure you always do proper stretching and warm ups to make sure you last a while at the bowling crease.

Answer 8

Any good leg spinner will be one who varies the line, length,

pace and make the batsman guessing all the time. Variation in

spin is an important factor and occasionally bowling googly and

flippers. The flight of the ball and the spin combinations are

crucial for a leg spinner. How can one achieve these? It is by

closely watching bowlers as Warne, Kumble, Bedi, Chandra

and many others. Keeping your fingers rolling on the ball along

with your bowling arm. Once you watched these bowlers at slow

pace and learn the way they grip the ball and their actions will

give you few hints - then you practice them all the time. As

everyone says practice makes perfect, you need to repeat it

several times a day. That is part of learning, and other parts

to becoming a great bowler is to be open minded and learn

the techniques. Healthy eating habits are needed and strong

physical skills need to be part of your daily exercises.

You need to have a daily routine to keep up them and also you

need to learn the proper techniques of your arm action. The

more you disguise your action, the better you are as the

batsman cannot read you. I wish you all the best and good

luck.

Answer 9

You need to be accurate first of all being a slow bowler.
