Spin or accuracy?

I think probably just practice mate, it's pretty rare that any problem with accuracy needs anything more than that. Something else I've read somewhere, which I thoguht was a very good point, was when you bowl your quicker ball don't just run up the same then whip your arm through faster because you're likely to lose it. Instead, speed up your entire action, right from the start of the runup, by a very small amount, which as well as keeping control will also rush the batasman a little bit because he's used to your normal runup.

^ I think you've misinterpreted the question. Obviously as a spinner you want to spin the ball, it's whether you give priority to greater turn, or better accuracy, rather than accuracy instead of turn. 

That should be the attitude of all spin bowling coaches!

I was bowling in the nets today and was ripping it a mile but not very accurate BUT the leggie in the net next to me was far slower spun it less but was a lot more accurate and we both beat the bat a lot but perhaps he caused more trouble.

Probably in five years you'll be as accurate as him and he still won't be apinning it any more than he does now. Don't be tempted into boring 'containing' bowling now just because your figures will be better in the short-term, allow yourself to develop as a bowler

Yeah but if he progresses, he won't progress very far if he can't turn it much. So when you become more accurate, you'll be better than him.

well actually PF, ever since I changed my action I've been doing exactly the opposite. My new action is starting to settle in and I'm slowly finding the right spot more.

Your last line I disagree with. If I try and get accuracy quickly then I will have to change my action again and after an action change that has taken 4 months to get right I do not wat that at all.

one way to stop bowling short is by putting the left
arm(if u are a right arm bowler) high up in the air)
By doing this there is less chance of bowling short.
At least it works with me!

how much of turn do u usually get?
I too get drift especially with my googlys as they almost
turn 90 degrees, usually around 60-70 degrees.
If you want to get lots of turn with the googly u would have to release it from the back of your ahnd as much as possible.
I'd suggest when bowling the googly that you should bend your back to the ground as much as possible and hence
the ball releases a lot from the back of your hand.
It also pitches at good lenght most of the time when i bowl it and as you will guess its really effective.
The only negative point about it is that it will be abvious to the batsman that i'm bowling it as i bend my back but nevertheless batsman still have trouble playing it.

Good thought that. I'm sure if you had the talent that would be the best strategy. In highly competitive cricket a leg-spinner must be able to spin the bowl or else they are redundant and can be replaced by an ordinary accurate off-spinner.

at the moment i'm spinning every ball at about 75-80 degrees. Believe me i am not lying. And i'm getting the ball to bounce really high too. I guess its because my style of legspin is different from most leggies

just thought id show you how stupid that much spin is take a look

thats a lie, I think this boy needs to revise his angles a bit better, my name is tongue in cheek, nobody can spin it 70 degrees. the Gatting ball was at most 60.

exactly, the Chanderpaul ball was about 70 degrees though. Thats the biggest turner in the history of cricket. (I think) I hate it when people say stupid statements. people take you, I and Fishcake a lot more seriously because we are realistic with our abilities.

We should just ignore them if they start saying anything else that is stupid. Him and AK both say they can spin it almost at right angles which is obviously a load of rubbish.
