How to bowl a leg spinner

First, you need to grip the ball: To grip the ball, you need to make your index and middle finger tips to be touching the seam with a gap between them. Your fourth and little fingers should be far from your middle finger on the left hand side. Your thumb is to support your finger, you put it near your index finger on your right hand side for a right handed bowler and it’s the opposite for a left handed bowler.

Next, releasing the ball: While releasing the ball, you must turn your hand, wrist and release the ball. Before that you must bring your arm round ( straight arm ). Last but not least you need to get your back foot forward to make it in line with your front foot ( if you’re a right handed bowler you bring your right foot forward, if you’re a left handed bowler you bring your left foot forward ).

Pull shot

In cricket, the bowlers might bowl you a bouncer and there is a shot you can play to hit the ball called the Pull Shot. Today in my class I have learned the Pull Shot.

When you are playing the Pull Shot, you need to use your back foot not your front foot. In this shot your bat needs to be up, you need to make sure your bat comes across from up to down, you need to put a lot of power into this shot and it is better to hit the ball on the ground than hitting the ball into the air because you could get caught out.
