- Grip the ball. The grip for spin bowling is very different from seam bowling.
- Position the fingers. The middle joints of the index, middle finger and third finger are well spread across the seam. The little finger and thumb are not involved.
- With offspin, you are looking to rotate or spin the ball from your forefinger to your third finger
- Release. The fingers rotate as the ball exits the hand(This is almost like turning a doorknob as you release it from the front of your hand.)
- You should aim to bowl the ball outside the off stump. If you bowl too close to the stumps, the batsman may dispatch your ball to the boundary on the leg side.
