If trying to pick the leg-spinner, googly
and flipper was difficult enough for a batsman, they've also got the
top-spinner to contend with.
Like a topspin
shot in tennis, the ball will kick off the pitch with extra bounce, often
striking the batsman high on the bat or the gloves.
Hold the ball like a normal
leg break - the top joints of the index and middle fingers are across the seam,
with the ball resting between a bent third finger and the thumb.
STEP 2
For a top spinner, the wrist
will be about 90 degrees to the floor and the seam will be pointing to the
batsman in flight.
Like a googly, the back of
the hand should be facing the sky when the ball is released.
The ball should be rotating
in an anti-clockwise (`wÿYveZ©x) direction with the seam facing
the batsman. The third finger should be the one doing all the work.
