This
delivery drifts away from the right-handed batsman (like the off-spinner) and,
on pitching, will either spin back towards the batsman and stumps, or carry on
its path towards the off side.
This will
depend on whether the ball pitches on the seam or not. If it pitches on the
seam, it should ‘bite’ and spin back (not as sharp as an off-spinner though).
If it lands on the shiny side of the ball, it will just skid on straight
instead of turning.
The grip is exactly the same
as that of the off-spin stock delivery.
Ø Release
During the release, the
wrist slides underneath the ball so that the ball spins on an axis that keeps
the seam parallel to the ground. In order to do this, the delivery arm has to
be lower than usual when releasing the ball.
The wrist must be turned
with the palm facing up.
Not easy to do, and also you
do not need it to come out perfect. You just looking for a chance for the ball
to land and skid on the shiny side of the ball.
