I think we need a thread dedicated only for the variations of this great art.
Here is a list of variations (including the sub-variations) that I could think of:
1. The Legbreak (side-spinning, over-spinning, and back-spinning)
2. The Overspinner or Topspinner (conventional and the one palmed out of the back of the hand)
3. The Googly, Wrong un or Bosie (side-spinning, and over-spinning)
4. The Backspinner
5. The Slider
6. The Flipper (The most common variety is the back-spinning variety as bowled by Shane Warne. There are four other varieties: the off-spinning, leg-spinning, over-spinning and the flying saucer types)
# The topspinner bowled out of the back of the hand is a really obscure one. I don't think any of you guys would have heard of it. I know a few people who bowl it and they tell me that it is better than the conventional one. It requires a ridiculous amount of flexibility and strength in the wrist to bowl it. I'll post a video of how it is released from the hand as it is hard to explain in words.
