Learn Warne's five spin deliveries

Around the Academy:

Warne's sliders has had England's batsman in a spin

Hi, I'm Terry Jenner and I'm sometimes known as the "Spin Doctor".

One of the reasons Shane Warne has so much success against English batsman is because of the variations he bowls.

Leg-spinners have five different balls in their armoury:

Leg-spinner

Top-spinner

Googly

Slider

Flipper

Each delivery requires a slight change in wrist position when the ball is released.

Although they are not easy to bowl, these variations are by no means impossible if you practise all the time.

Good luck!
