How to Bowl Off Spin by Spininfo PDF Print E-mail

Are you making the most of your potential as an off spin bowler?  Chances are, the answer is "no".
 
At least, not yet.

But when you read the rest of this article you will find out exactly how you can.

Spin bowling is a highly specialised skill and the most difficult ways to deliver the ball in consistently. It takes practice, but not just any practice. Truly successful spinners understand their game:

    * WHY things happen.
    * WHAT makes them happen.
    * HOW to make them happen.

Without knowing that you are just guessing and hoping, not understanding.

And the average coach at your club, school or even University just doesn't understand those things. They won't be able to help you.
So you are stuck and frustrated.

Stuck turning your arm over; acting as a bowling machine to disrespectful batsman.

Stuck not understanding how to master the arts of spin, bounce, flight, dip and turn. Just hoping it will all go right and not knowing what to do when goes wrong.

When you get out in the middle you feel paralysed by the lack of confidence and have no idea how to get out of it.

It's an ever decreasing circle of confidence disrupting form which disrupts confidence.
What if there was another way?

Where are the spinners? PDF Print E-mail
Dec 18, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Two of the three best spinners of our generation- Shane Warne and Anil Kumble- have already hung-up their boots. The other- Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan- is on the verge of calling it a day. He has already hinted that time has come for him to quit international cricket.

Though they were different from each other in their bowling styles, they were the ones who had the capacity to single-handedly win matches for their respective countries. Their dexterity and match-winning capabilities made them cult figures on and off the cricket field.

On their days they were the best. They are any captain’s dream and the best trouble-shooters. Such was the skill of these three that they could walk in any team of any generation.

Though they belonged to different nations, they have a huge fan-base cutting across geographical boundaries. They have been the real flag-bearers of the famous spinners of yesteryears- Lance Gibbs, Jim Laker, Derek Underwood, Bishan Singh Bedi, Bhagwat Chandrashekhar, Richie Benaud, Bill O'Reilly and so on.

Blind search for another Warne continues PDF Print E-mail
Dec 16, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Shane Warne was a talent so rare that it may be generations before another of his ilk is found.

Yet Australia's blind hope that the national selectors will blithely stumble upon another Warne to carry the torch for spin bowling has never been more evident than in the selection of Steven Smith.

By choosing the cherubic, 20-year-old as back-up to a sore Nathan Hauritz ahead of the third Test against the West Indies at the WACA ground, Andrew Hilditch and his panel were being either exceptionally bold or wilfully reckless, depending on one's perspective.

As a legspinner, Smith is not so much a baby as an embryo, something attested to by his first-class bowling return of 11 wickets at 75.18 from nine matches.

For the selectors to consider Smith ready to play a Test match, which he would have done had Hauritz not made a rapid recovery from his tender right spinning finger, was asking far too much.

Reality show to find the next Warne? PDF Print E-mail
Dec 11, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Australia's spin-bowling future could rest in the hands of a reality television show.

Cricket Australia have been advised in a paper published by Australian Centre of Excellence to consider an Australian Idol-type series to unearth young talent, according to News Limited reports.

However, Cricket Australia is reluctant to take up the idea at this stage because it could throw any talent development strategies into chaos.

"It [the suggestion] was raised but it is not part of our strategy," said Cricket Australia spokesman Peter Young in The Courier-Mail.

"I don't want to create the impression we are using reality television to identify the next Shane Warne."

The show would follow in the footsteps of Fox8's Football Superstar, where players were given the chance to join an A-League club.

Decline of quality of off-break bowlers PDF Print E-mail
Dec 07, 2009 at 12:00 AM

A notable feature of the ongoing Ranji Trophy championship is the virtual absence of off-break bowlers in the higher end of the bowling honours list.

This ought to be seen as an unhappy development in a country for which this type of finger spinners — with the ball breaking into the batsman’s body allied with flight and line and length variations with a high intelligence quotient of the practioners — have played a distinguished part and has been regarded an important cog in the wheel of India’s bowling arrangement.

The decline of quality off-break bowlers has been a gradual feature in the last two decades and in this season the sheer anxiety of being called for illegal action has eliminated this particular facet of the game in India.

Harbhajan Singh is an exception though since 1998. The off-break bowler in the current Ranji Trophy Super League bowling honours list is Bengal’s Saurasish Lahiri with 17 wickets in four matches.

He is followed by Tamil Nadu’s Ravichandran Ashwin with 13 wickets from five matches. Ashwin has been included in the Indian team for the two Twenty20 matches against Sri Lanka.
