- Spinners play a key role in all teams, at all levels, across all format, with many of the most successful bowlers of all time being spinners.
Bowling spin is something we think everyone should try, and the basics are often overlooked in favour of teaching everyone to bowl seam.
In this second video, Ed takes a look at the basics of the finger spin bowling action, including the Back Foot Contact (BFC), Front Foot Contact (FFC), Release, and Follow Through position.
He provides visual examples of the best spinners in the world, so you can see the positions they get into, and learn from them!
As a former first class spinner it's great to hear Ed going back to basics and covering some of the key points that all spinners rely on to execute their skills.

It's Informative for my son. He is left arm orthodox spinner thank you for making such a wonderful video's
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and watch the video Nitin. I’m so glad it is providing you with value.
Great stuff man! Gonna take your points and try it out in the nets. Been struggling with beamers and bowling some short stuff during the weekend matches.
Awesome stuff Mayuran! Let me know how you get on. Full tosses and drag downs happen, so don’t worry. It’s part of the process in learning the balance between the two. Stay relaxed in your arms, but make sure you commit to spinning the ball, never just place the ball there. Good luck
@@InFormCricketI’ve just been bowling in the nets, it’s slowly getting there. I feel like I’m releasing the ball before I’m planting my front foot. My peers have been saying that I’m lobbing the ball instead of releasing it later and my momentum isn’t going through my action.I guess I have to work on that. Will let you know of the outcome. Thanks from a left arm spinner in Malaysia.
@@mayuranjayatharan7048 If you're releasing the ball before your front foot is planted, this means our weight is back. We must transfer our weight onto the front foot in order to get balanced, to then release the ball. When you land on your front foot, try and be in a 'starfish' position, where your arms are stretched out wide at shoulder height, and your legs are spilt and both on the ground, creating the star shape. Then transfer your weight onto your front foot to release (and use your front arm!). Hope makes sense. Good luck
@@InFormCricket okay. I get what you mean. I’ll give it a go. Thank you for your help.
Staying relaxed in the arms , head and body isn’t easy when in a pressure situation. Any tips on how to focus and cut out all the noise?
Good teacher ❤
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Thanku so much sir my left arm spinner and your videos so help full thnku so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad it helped Ankit, thanks for your support!
Thanks for this very informative video. Is there any video on run up for side arm bowling action?
Thanks Mithun! The next part is the series will be run up and entry to the crease. But in the meantime, your run is there to help you build momentum towards the target, and helps with your rhythm and timing. Make sure your jump into the crease is relatively straight to help your momentum going forwards. And jump so your body has time to get side on before you bowl. Hope this helps
I had problems with release point, front foot landing and not a complete pivot action, because of these flaws I miss my line and length sometimes the ball might spin or it doesn't have spin at all. I had the tendency to bowl beamers ,low tosses . But this video helped me to know where I was wrong and also to rectify it..
Thanks for such a video bro 🔥🔥
Glad it has helped Agni - bowling full often means our weight is back on release, so try to make sure you are really driving your head forward towards the target, and your weight is fully on your front leg on release. Hope this helps.
@@InFormCricket bro can u pls make a video on variations of offspin .. just requesting...
@@agniraj9836 Thanks for this. The idea is to make Part 3 which is Run up and Entry to the crease, and then Part 4 which is variations and how you change speed.
Nice
Hi first of all amazing videos. I am learning to spin but most of by deliveries stay flat and skids on. I get wickets but i want to turn the ball more. Instead almost all my deliveries become armers. I have decent accuracy but can’t spin the ball as much.
Nice vedio
Thank you!
Love from India
Love from the UK!
Please upload some drills for these techniques 🙏🙏
How to identity the ball which is coming in (arm ball) and which goes away or even straight one. What are the clues or hints.
When left arm baller bowl to right handed
I’m struggling to get those. 😢
Good
Thank you Aban 🙏🏼
Sir i had problem when i do bowling bowl goes flighted abd slow can you tell me the reason behind it please
Hi - do you have a video to explain where to land the ball - at what length?
Thanks for the comment @melvinpaul85, and thank you for watching the video! I’m working on a video about line and length, but generally you want to bounce the ball 4 metres away from the stumps, this is deemed a good length where the batter can’t smother the spin on the front foot from the crease, and the ball can threaten the stumps if the batter goes on the back foot. Hope this helps
Can u make a video on variation for left arm
I will get round to it, I’ll add to the list. Thank you for your suggestion
When we on front foot landing.. How we release the balls back hips behind the front leg or both facing towards batter?
When your front foot lands we want our hips to be pointing 45 degrees from the batter. So the hips are not pointing down the wicket (that’s on release), or 90 degrees from the batter (ie belly button pointing towards extra cover/mid wicket). Hope this helps
Sir please explain hip rotation deeply.
Please make a video for feilding in off spin
Thanks for the comment Nitin. Are you referring to setting a field for an off spin bowler?
Is non - bowling arm can help in line aur length ?
Thanks for the comment!
Your non bowling arm does help with line and length - LINE = the direction it slices down in aligns your shoulders with the target, and LENGTH = helps get your weight forward over your front leg to get a high release point above your head.
Try to make sure your non bowling arm copies the same motion you want the ball to have in flight towards the batter.
In other words, make sure your non bowling arm goes UP towards the sky, then OUT towards the batter.
Hope this helps
When i do bowling practice in nets
In starting my finger make good grip on ball and good rotation but after some time my finger get free means losse and i can't rotate the ball
Please post some videos for back leg
my back knee gets collapsed while bowling which leads to sometimes inconsistency
Back foot contact is important. You have to be strong in your legs and core. Just not to jump high, and also sideways, as this makes landing in a stable position much harder. So practice jumping straight and land on your back foot with no wobble. Then practice jumping straight landing on back foot then quickly transferring onto front foot in a straight line. Good luck
Keep posting, and how to direct contact you, plz advice
We will be working on more videos soon. You can contact via website or Instagram. Thanks
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON UNORTHODOX BOWLING LIKE RASHID KHAN

leg spin on finger spin is possible brother.?
hi i am left arm off spinner my ball not turns much and does not have speed
i ask from senior they said to keep hands straight try use all power from shoulder wrist straight
can you tell any solution and they said rightor not
Hi Riyaz, thanks for taking the time to comment. The ball might not be spinning for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the seam needs to dig into the surface to spin. So 1) the ball needs to land on the seam while rotating, and 2) the pitch needs to allow the seam to dig in (flat hard pitch won’t dig in as much, so won’t spin as much). So firstly work out whether you’re hitting the seam. If you’re hitting the seam at the ball isn’t spinning, it may be the pitch being too hard, or it may be that there aren’t many revolutions (rotations) on the ball. In order to get more revolutions on the ball, we use our whole body to pivot and use our wrist and fingers to spin the ball at the release point. Make sure your body is rotating 180 degrees when bowling. In other words, your body faces out before release, and then rotates around and faces the other direction after release. Hope this helps
@@InFormCricket yea my ball is rotating few days ago but after holidday my start coming in for right hand batters i try to solve that problem then my line and length and rotation get poor my seam position is good i can see in air ball rotating but turning
ANd pitch good for spinners because same day right arm off spinner take many wickets there
my seniors said that i only release ball in air not use finger powwer hit ball on ground
🙏🌹
When should u release the ball?
Try to release the ball at the highest point of your action above your head
Sir can you show your bowling please
How many over to bowl every day in practice and to bowl at a consistent good length area
Obviously the more you bowl the more your body understands how to move and the sequence of bowling becomes instinctive. So practice as much as you can, but with good habits and focus. Figure out what works and what doesn’t work. In regards to bowling a good length, this comes from having a repeatable action, and the release point being at the top of your action. Try to make sure your head is over your front leg when releasing the ball, and driving towards the target. Put some cones down 4 metres from the stumps, and learn how to land the ball on that good length area. Hope this helps
@@InFormCricket thanks❤️❤️
I am a left arm spinner but most of the times I bowl to the right hander either outside off Or into legs but I am not able to bowl within stumps
Kindly guide
Try working on your front arm slicing down vertically towards the stumps. Also check your feet alignment.
Sir can you plz give any drill or practice to get this full action and to master this. And how to get this completel action?
In order to get the completed action you put all the sequences of movements together. Back foot contact -> transition -> front foot contact -> release position -> follow through. Try and make it a smooth movement between each stage.
Ok but how to practice it?
@@saifal3608 grab a ball and bowl against a wall or towards some stumps to start understanding the feeling of the bowling action and the release
Sir how can i contact you i need to show you my bowling video
Best to get us on Instagram
Hi good morning my son is a left hand spinner
Great to hear! Hope he enjoyed the videos
Front leg is getting to much across what to do sir
Usually to do with either direction of your jump into the crease (not jumping straight), or by your front arm going around your body meaning your back points towards the batter on back foot contact. Try jumping straight and working on your front arm going up and out towards the stumps - let your front follow follow.
