How to do "Orthodox Leg spin"

It may be one of the most difficult skills to master in cricket, but a good leg spinner will almost certainly get plenty of wickets.
Leg spin involves turning a ball off the pitch from the leg-side of a right-handed batsman, to the off-side.
It is often described as wrist spin because, unlike off spinners, the revolutions of the ball are generated by the wrist rather than the fingers.

STEP 1
      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
      As you release the ball, straighten the fingers and much of the work on the ball will be done by the third finger, turning the ball anti-clockwise.
      Flick the wrist so that the palm of the hand finishes facing downwards.
