This
delivery confused the batsman and is an exclusive delivery in the history of
cricket.
The ball spins
surprisingly and can be turned in different ways. The ball can be spun from leg
to off, off to leg or straightly. In a word, it’s one of the most deceitful deliveries.
Recently it has been popularized by Ravichandran Ashwin of India and
Ajantha Mendis of Srilanka.
The ball is held between the thumb, forefinger and the
middle finger.
When the centre
finger is gripped towards the leg side, the ball spins from leg to off; when
the centre finger is gripped towards the off side, the ball spins from off to
leg.
Depending on the
degree the ball is gripped towards the leg side, the carom ball could also
travel straight.
Ø Release
The ball is
released by flicking it between the thumb and a bent middle finger in order to
impart spin.
