Home > Off spin

A left-handed bowler who bowls with a similar action to an off spinner is known as a left-arm orthodox spinner.

Off spin is generally considered less difficult to play than leg spin, as off breaks typically spin less than leg spinners, and do not generally possess the same loopy, potentially deceptive flight. However, the off spinner has advantages in being able to deliver the ball with considerably more speed and accuracy than a leg spinner, and thus the capability to deceive the batsman with changes in the pace of the ball. In addition, modern off spinners such as Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan have demonstrated that they can spin the ball as prodigiously as most leg spin bowlers.

Notable contemporary off spinners include Harbhajan Singh of India, Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka, and Saqlain Mushtaq of Pakistan. Mushtaq in particular has been credited with the invention of the " doosraA doosra is a particular type of delivery by an off spin bowler in the sport of cricket. The term comes from Urdu and in this context it means "the other one". It literally means "second" or "the second one". The doosra is a relatively new type of ball, d", sometimes called the "floater" or "mystery ball", which behaves comparably to the leg spinner's googlyIn cricket, a googly is a type of delivery bowled by a leg spin bowler. While a normal leg break spins from the leg to the off side, away from a right-handed batsman, a googly spins the other way, from off to leg, into a right-handed batsman.

Another common weapon of the off spinner is the arm ballCricket delivery An arm ball is a type of delivery in the sport of cricket. It is a variation delivery of the cricket ball by an off spin bowler. In contrast to an off break, an arm ball is delivered without rolling the fingers down the side of the ball o, which doesn't spin but goes straight on "with the arm". Off spinners also rely to a great extent on on varying the speed, pitch and flight of the cricket ballThe cricket ball is a hard, solid ball with an interior of cork and a leather case with a slightly raised sewn seam.
