Leg Spin

Importance of feet alignment:-
  • When the feet are aligned towards the target the hip and shoulder follow
  • The game has evolved a lot of changes over the yars but the basics have remined constant.
  • Coaches need to understand that good wrist spinners are born to the art
  • A young spinner has to have the natural ability to combine finger and wrist release with rotation of arm and shoulders timing the moment of release at the top of his arc-not too high to project the ball forward

 

Technique Checklist
  • Strong grip
  • Side on position into delivery stride
  • Utilize front arm
  • Wrist cocked
  • Spin up and over the ball
  • Bowling arm at release NOT close to ear
  • Follow through with bowling arm across the body to opposite side
  • Drive back leg through rotating hips as bowling arm and shoulder end up facing batsman
