Would any one want help with spin?

Cool. I can do a doosra!

Ok, you have to understand that doing the doosra for me is easier because I am a left handed off-spinner. So my action is the exact samething as a right handed leg-spinner. Do you know what I mean.

For the googly, you have to turn your wrist like you're turning a door knob right? And at the end of your action the back of the hand is suppose to be facing the batsman. But since I am left-handed, my off-spin action is different than the right-handed off-spinners action. My off-spinner action is the same as a right handed leg-spinners action.

My action is like this except I'm left-handed so when I turn it the other way, its a doosra.

I don't think anyone understands what I'm trying to say.

what does the doosra do? meaning how does it move

 how many deliveries can a left arm spinner do

Saqlain has a tessra. Meaning the thord one, not many people really know about it because it is still very new, but I believe it is a delivery which once it hits the pitch the speed goes up or something of that sorts. It will be interesting to see if our man Saqlain Mushtaq gets another go. He is the guy that 1st made the doosra basically, so he has quite a big repetoire of balls, particularly for an offie. He revolutionised off spin, more then MUrali even.

Or more succinctly, a left arm unorthodox bowler.

I believe this is what the 'official' term is.

can you teach me to bowl left arm chinamens im a left arm orthadox and i bowl those fine but when it come to my rongun or doosra which ever one it is its either a wide or a long hop that doesnt spin much at all and i would also like to know how to bowl the arm ball

Originally posted by MiNiWaRnEy Yes Slow Left arm Unorthodx, a less commonly used term for thos style of bowling, it really is a rare art. The only Cihnamen bowlers I can think of from he top of my head are Paul Adams, Michael Beva, George Bradely Hogg. MArk HIggs and Simon Katich.

In 5 years, you can add me to that list.

hi guys i saw this topic through google and i wouldnt mind giving my own tips on offspin, i am a right handed offspinner, i have 5 deliveries, some of my own, if anyone is interested i can give you tips on, the offbreak, the arm ball and the topspinner. If you want to find out about my other two "made up" bowls then prepared to get complicated. If you are willing to listen i will explain. I could also do with help making up two names for my deliveiries as well. I have the utmost respect for you miniwarney as i know how hard it is to develop and practise so many types of spin.

 

Let me know if you want tips

Well, presumably name wise you'd carry on the trend: doosra, tessra, ......... (I don't know what language it is so can't carry it on, but apparently Saqlain Mushtaq has a tesra, a third variation.)

doosra means 'the other one' but I've no idea what tesra means. Perhaps you can put 'sra' after your initials/first name/last name or something if you want to invent a new name for a delivery!

No, you're right, it's too close to doosra in pronunciation.

Right, so we just need someone to tell us what 'fourth one' and 'fifth one' is and we're away...

fourth one : choutha

fifth one : panchwa

Yea, I know Urdu because I am originally from Pakistan but right now I am living in Canada.
