Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Four)
Macca, is that me? Does your son read this stuff as well?
Yeah there's a place for Flippers, but anyone who manages to get the click out of the fingers sussed with some decent rotation, I'd say now that you've really got to go the full mile and get the wrist working to produce the other 2 variations of note. You've got to work with the Top-Spinning Flipper and the one that comes out of the front of the hand that should break like an off-spinner. The Off-spinning one is magic for me, but I'm not 100% convinced like a lot of my deliveries that it comes out of the hand in the way that I want it to or perceive that it does and somehow it's more akin to a Leg Break. But it drifts it to the batsman and then often breaks the opposite way as a Leg Break! Don't know how - don't know why and don't care because when it's bowled amongst my ususal stuff it causes problems.
