This Sportplan Session celebrates the fine game that is cricket by looking at the most popular form of spin - off-spin bowling - designed to improve your players' control of the red cherry.
This session is highly flexible and can be used as an introduction to the off-spin bowl or with more experienced players as a way of continuing to improve their technique. This spinning special is that it can be used with large groups, making sure everyone is involved, having fun and learning.
When bowling an off-break delivery the ball will turn from the off side to the leg side when bowled at a right-handed batsman. The spin itself is generated by the first and second fingers of the right hand.
The more revolutions you can put on the ball, the better chance you have of getting creating a difficult bounce for the opposition batsman.
The covers are on and the last tea has been served. What your club does between now and April decides how the next season starts. Here is a simple, honest winter plan for players, bowlers and juniors.
August is when seasons are decided, and most club games are lost chasing rather than setting. Give your batters a framework for the chase and you win the close ones.
Green July pitches and a shiny Dukes mean the ball is talking. Here is how to coach your batters to survive the moving ball, trust their defence, and cash in once the shine has gone.
