	CBC News In Depth: Spin Cycles
		Spin Cycles is a radio series by CBC producer Ira Basen about how those in power can manipulate facts in order to make their case for the rest of us.
		Spin Cycles is scheduled for rebroadcast on The Sunday Edition this summer, starting July 8 at 10:00 a.m.
		And in most cases, it's the spin doctors who have gained the upper hand.

	analyst: Leg spin
		Leg spin is by far the most exciting and potentially devastating type of spin, and also the hardest to master.
		Leg spin is a bit of a throwback to the early part of the twentieth century when leg spinners were almost ten a penny.
		Leg spin was in the doldrums in world cricket until Shane Warne came on the scene in 1990 with his beach-boy image, vicious leg spin and exceptional accuracy.

	Leg spin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The stock delivery of a leg spinner is the leg break, which is bowled by using the wrist and the fingers to spin the ball anti-clockwise at the point of delivery.

		Good leg spin bowlers are also able to bowl deliveries that behave unexpectedly, including the googly, which turns the opposite way to a normal leg break, and the topspinner, which doesn't deviate significantly.

		Leg spin is a type of bowling used in cricket.
		Good leg spin bowlers are also able to bowl deliveries that behave unexpectedly, including the googly, which turns the opposite way to a normal legspinner, and the topspinner, which doesn't deviate significantly.
		However, leg spin has again become popular with cricket fans and a successful part of cricket teams, as the contest between batter and bowler is perhaps more cerebral than the physical contest between batters and faster bowlers.

		Conversely, backward spins or “back spins” are performed on the RBO edge, and the skater’s body rotates backward in the direction of the spin.
		While this is the simplest one-foot spin, it occurs often in competitive spin combinations, often serving as a final position before concluding the spin with a flowing exit edge or pivot.
		The camel spin is performed in a spiral position in which the body is tilted forward and the free leg raised.

		Pass a leg over the footbag from in to out then jump and kick the footbag with the inside surface of the support leg.
		Hop off the right leg and pass the left leg over the footbag- Hit the footbag with the inside surface of the right foot and then in this case it is easiest to land on the left leg.
		After this leg has circled the bag and is racing to the ground hop off the right leg and complete an inside around the world before using this leg to finish on a clipper delay.

	BBC SPORT \| Cricket \| Skills \| How to bowl leg spin
		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.
		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.

		Leg Spin is a classification of spin bowling.
		Googly is nothing but "the leg spin bowlers off spin ball" Normally the batsmen who is facing a leg spinner expect the ball to leave him, but when Googly is bowled him, but when Googly is bowled it comes back at him to his surprise and the batsman always ends in no-mans land.

		Held at hip height, the free leg is cast forward parallel to the ice as the skater simultaneously jumps off of his left toe pick and achieves an almost horizontal position in the air.
		While airborne, the free leg extends forward and to the side of the body at approximately a 45-degree angle; and the skater pulls his left leg up toward his body bending the knee and almost touching the back of his boot to his backside.
		Kicking of the free leg, reaching forward with both arms and springing from the left knee combine to lift the skater upward and linearly across the ice.

	Leg spin that makes the head spin - Deccan Herald (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The pundits will tell you he does not spin the ball; that he does not have the classic leg spinner’s loop; that he does not bowl slowly enough to get the ball to bite.
		The Australian leg spinner Arthur Mailey summed it up when he said, “I’d rather spin and see the ball hit for four than bowl a batsman out by a straight one.” This is romantic but ridiculous.
		He famously wrote: “Who cares for the tussle for championship points if a Ranji be glancing to leg?” By equating the artistic with the beautiful Cardus divorced performance from result and ensured that in the mind of the ‘true’ cricket lover the means would be more important than the ends.

		Spinners escpecially the leg spinners are great too as they can leg spin,throw a googly and a flipper.But they can be thrashed if you bowl too full or short.The flight they give sometime give you wickets but often disappear in the stands.
		Anyway try using the tips that i gave for the leg spinner,set the field and then bowl accordingly,the onside field is important for a offspinner as he drifts into the right hander batsman,dammit the batting side is very strong on the legs so you can get killed badly,beware.
		If a bowl if on the leg side it is best to hit it on the leg side rather then trying to put it on the offside.

	Playing Spin Bowling
		Good spin bowlers have a large variety of deliveries, which are executed with a great deal of precision and subtlety.
		Note that against spin bowling the rear leg straightens earlier than when playing medium or fast bowling, because the weight must be transferred downwards into the ball at impact.
		The fact is that many of the great players of spin bowling, though they had it in their repertoire, did not use the sweep shot extensively.

		Whereas the former is expected to be gapless, the latter should have a non-magnetic singlet ground-state and a quantum gap should open in the magnetic excitation spectrum.
		Of particularly high interest is the 2-leg spin-ladder system, because of the prediction that charge doping could induce a non-conventional superconductivity, in which a d-wave pairing could be achieved, driven by the magnetic fluctuations.
		Accordingly, a new model describing the spin distribution along the chain has to be found for this undoped material.

		A Parafuso is when you throw one leg up, then the other leg (the "kicking" leg) meets it in the air, and you land it like a double leg.
		Legs are spread, and the arms are tucked into the back of the performer's pants.
		Like a tornado kick but instead of tucking in the left leg, it is thrown out as a cresent or wheel kick and the right leg follows with a cresent/wheel as you land on the left leg.

	analyst: Richie Benaud on the art of leg-spin bowling
		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.
		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.
		In delivering the ball, you look at the spot on the pitch on which you wish the ball to land, your bowling hand starts level with your face and then describes what could loosely be termed an anti-clockwise circle to the point of delivery.
