The
ball is held between the first two fingers and the thumb.
The
fingers are placed either side of the seam, which is upright.
The
thumb and third finger support the ball.
The
ball should be held in the fingers and not in the palm of the hand. |

 Leg Break
Top
joint of thumb and first two fingers are spaced naturally apart, gripping
across the seam.
Third
finger cups ball and lies along seam to impart the leg spin.

is bent inwards and only flips straight as ball is delivered.
Third
and fourth fingers flick upwards and forwards, whilst thumb side of hand cuts
downwards. |

 Off Break

joint of first finger, gripping across seam, is main spinning 'lever'.

finger, widely spaced, also grips acros seam.

As
the ball is bowled, the wrist is 'cocked' back and flicks forward with the
first finger dragging sharply downwards and thumb flipping upwards.
After
delivery, hand cuts across body and finishes with palm pointing upwards. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 Out-swing
