| The way i bowl the Top Spinner is by keeping the leg im going to balance on straight and keeping my head straight so it points forwards. This gives me lots of extra bounces as i usually bowl with my head dipped down getting only little bounce. Sometimes however i bowl it out of the back of my hand, making it go straighter on AND get extra bounce.
Anyway, the thing with the Doosra is that when you bowl it with a straight arm, 70% of the time the ball will just go straight on, it is very hard to give the ball leg break without changing your action abit, whilst bowling it with a straight arm lets you bowl the Doosra with the same Off Spin action. Muralitharan gets alot of leg spin on the Doosra as he bowls with a bent arm. If you see Shoaib malik or Harbhajan Singh bowling the Doosra, its usually going straighter on rather than turning the other way. |
