Side Spin

How do you gain side spin as an off spinner?

Im not an offspinner but it is all to do with wrist positions. The best way to learn is to practice and try new things with the ball. You cant learn how to bowl out of a book or on the net.

That would be a doosra. I haven't a clue about bowling myself but if anyone you know has tried one and it has worked then ask them.

its hard to disguse a leg spinner delivery if you bowl offspin because it is a very different action, the only person i know that does it well does not put alot of revs on the ball because it is to obvoius. It just angles away a little bit from the right hander.
