I bowl leg spin like Shane Warne and I'm going to share with you some of the skills you need to learn if you are going to get the ball to turn. A leg spinner is a ball that pitches on a right-hander's leg stump and spins to the off side. Firstly you need a good grip, wrapping your fingers around the ball with the thumb resting on the seam. Use your fingers and wrist to generate spin on the ball and bring your arm through as close to your ear as you can. Pitch the ball well up, so the flight of the ball causes the batsman to lift his head up and then down, hopefully disorientating him. To view my leg spin masterclass in full click on the icon above.
