	The Hindu : A model off-spinner
		It was Surrey that recognised his bowling potential, and invited him to join the county staff, after a sore 'spinning finger' had prevented his playing a 'trial' match for Essex.
		Like most men who spin the ball really hard, he often wore away the skin from the inside of his index finger.
		If you have never had spinning finger problems, you have never had blood oozing from that finger, you have never spun the ball.

	Ryan Maron's Cricket School of Excellence - Cricket Bowling Tips
		The leg spin grip has the ball placed with the seam resting on the index, second and third finger and the ball is spun off the first knuckle of the index and thrid finger.
		The ball is held firmly, with the index finger the main one used for imparting spin on the ball.
		The bowling arm is slightly lower than for the off spinner and rotates across the bowler's body with a good follow through.

	analyst: Richie Benaud on the art of leg-spin bowling
		For over-the-wrist spin, grip the ball so that the seam runs across the first joint of the index finger and the first joint of the third finger.
		For the leg-break, and the over-spinner or top-spinner, the ball is spun off the third finger.
		Nobody understands the skills and techniques of leg spin better – he took 248 Test wickets with leg spin and has analysed the actions of all subsequent exponents.

	Cricket Web - Coaching - Spin to win
		A wrist spinner's basic grip is to hold the ball, with its seam horizontal, cupped in the first three fingers of their bowling hand, with the index and ring fingers roughly on opposite sides, and the middle finger fractionally closer to the index finger - resulting in all three fingers lying across the seam.
		The bowler achieves this effect with a near-identical action by rotating his wrist 180 degrees (the back of the hand faces the batsman), so that the spinning motion imparted causes the revolutions to become clockwise, and the spin off the pitch to go to the right as the bowler sees it.
		Flat spin bowling can be just as useful to a team in the right situation; at its most accurate, batsmen can be tied down to exceptionally slow scoring rates and should they need to score quickly, they can become frustrated and give their wickets away.

	analyst: Off-spin

	technique
		A long stick is also very good for learning as it will spin slower and allow you to position your fingers and thumb a lot easier.
		Your index finger (which should now be under the pencil because you curled it up before) should now extend locking the pencil in a position with the index and pinky fingers under, and the middle and fourth fingers on top.
		The motion for the middle finger is almost exactly the same as that for snapping your fingers, except that your middle finger should stop moving once the tip of the finger reaches the middle joint of your thumb.

	Cricket Web - Was spin bowling once an easier art?
		IMO not only were the uncovered pitches a factor but also the pitches today are 'dead' in comparison - as per the flat tracks thread - no bite on Day1 for the seamers and no turn on Day 5 for the finger spinners in particular.......hence why AUS has a preference / prevalence for wristies atm..........
		If you try to attack spin when the ball is turning, meanwhile, the chances are you'll pay for it sooner rather than later, so I don't think attacking batting has made potentially good bowlers less so.
		Otherwise it is simply not possible for a human hand to impart the neccesary spin to turn the ball dangerously.

		Finger Eleven is a big listen, and singer Scott Anderson powers, so if you're gonna back some underdogs this summer, shoot all eleven of your fingers into the air for these boys.
		The band known as Finger Eleven are now on their third disc of quirky alternative riffs, hard rock and heavy beats, though it seems they're still struggling to find the hooks that have already propelled labelmates like Creed, Evanescence and even Drowning Pool to record-selling success.
		This album shows signs of maturity, and that comes at a right time as I feared the band might fall into the trap of releasing the same album over and over again.
