i have to say to stop your row Tongue i think it depends completly on your delivery if your somneone who tosses it up alot normally finger spiners you are likely to get more turn on grass well short grass and wrist spinners who tend to send it at a more reasonable pace down the pitch i would have thought it would have turned the same depending on the net and grass i suppose.

Rubbish! Concrete doesn't grip at all! If you can turn a ball on concrete thn it will spin much more on a decent grass wicket.

If your not getting alot of spin try spreading your fingers less over the seam.  If its uncomfortable to hold then bring your fingers in more.  I practise on grass and when i go to the nets which are concrete i have to turn it up a bit to get spin.]]> Thu, 12 Apr 2007 07:46:45 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3467&PID=125489#125489 Anyone Else Tried This? : I know some one who bowls leg... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3467&PID=125438#125438 Author: revolutions

That is the general coaching method, although some people don't feel comfortable holding the ball across the seam, and a scrambled seam allows for more disguise.

Interesting theory, but I'll stick to the orthodox grip for my off-breaks.

Basically by the fork grip I mean you basically grip the ball in the shape of a fork, you put your middle finger on the seam and your other two fingers on either side of the seam on the sides of the ball, I've tried it and managed to extract quite a bit of turn with the ball on concrete, so I don't know how much turn I can get from it on a normal wicket but I'm fairly confident of it being a decent way to grip the ball.
 
Because of the way the ball s gripped as well you could in theory use it to bowl off break, leg break, medium pace and maybe even fast bowlers could use it, but I've never seen it used by anyone else and I was wondering if anyone else used it. I think it's a fairly effective way to bowl so try it.
 
Your views on the 'fork grip'....
 
It might not work on a normal wicket because concrete grips a ball better than grass/ normal wicket. Hope it works out for you, but i'm going to stay with my same grip.
