Difficult really to impart any advice to a spinner without actually seeing them bowl. However, the reality for any bowler is that accuracy and consistency will be more important.

Put the hours in practicing so that you understand your own bowling. Develop an action you can repeat over and over, and just get better and better and hitting the right areas. If the ball turns, then it turns, but if you can vary your pace and flight a bit in and and around off-stump and just outside you'll stand a chance of taking wickets and being very tight.

Thanks man for the help, I'm more of a fast bowler but I wanted to try spinning the ball for once. I can spin it but it's really slow and not that accurate. If you can find me any good videos on this that would be helpful.

Get that left arm up nice and high and drive thru the action using your left arm to aim, so to speak

Yeah good advice from Alex, but as I said there is no magic answers to bowling. Understanding your own body and action are very important. Knowing how much or little it takes to push it through quicker, or take some pace off. Having an understanding of where you want to pitch the ball, and being able to do that consistently etc...

BBC Sport - Cricket - How to bowl off-spin - This might be helpful I suppose :p

A lot of coaches will say learn to be accurate, then learn to turn the ball. Warne has always said learn to rip a ball as far as you possibly can, and then learn to control it.

That spin advice was a lot more useful than I still expected, admittedly the ball hardly ever spins for me but when it does, it can startle the batsmen

nice nice very nice
wat i need to work on is legg cutter, yorker, and inswinger
and wat do i need to do to get pace. is it about strength or is there a technique?

Just do what most bowlers do and tamper with the seam.......:D


aerodynamics-in-cricket_zps83d92f2d.gif

A ball traveling at a speed of more than 112 km/h will become turbulent, and the boundary layer separation point on the smooth side will move further towards the back of the ball so that the separation points become more similar, reducing swing. That is why medium pace will always get more swing than the fast bowlers.

Best way to get swing is angle of attack = 20 degrees with a rate of backspin of 11 to 14 rpm

Batting
Bat: Gray Nicolls e41
Batting Position: Usually opening but ocassionaly 3 or 4.
Batting Style: See off the new ball driving and what not. And get more and more agressive until the end of the innings where I'm swinging at everything.
Favorite Shot: Straight Drive, Pull Shot, Leg Glance and Cover Drive.

Bowling
Bowling Type: Pace
Bowling Deliveries: I tend to focus on line and length but I have a very handy yorker. I find I get batsmen fishing a fair bit and the keeper, cover and slip have a field day.


Fielding
Fielding Position: Point and mid-wicket. I just love the look on the batsmen faces when they realise that ball they're sure they just flogged has been stopped and they haven't got anymore runs to their name.
