Finger spin is a type of bowling in the sport of cricket. It refers to the technique and specific hand movements associated with imparting a particular direction of spin to the cricket ball . The other spinning technique, generally used to spin the ball in the opposite direction, is wrist spin .
Spin bowling is a bowling technique in cricket, in which the ball is delivered relatively slowly but with rapid rotation, giving it the potential to deviate sharply after bouncing. A bowler who uses this technique is called a spinner , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] a spin bowler , [ 1 ] or a slow bowler .
The spin on the ball makes its movement hard to predict, particularly when it bounces, hence spin bowlers try to deceive batsmen into making a mistake. Speed is not crucial in spin bowling, and spinners tend to bowl in the slow-medium to medium-slow range, around 45-55 mph. There are two broad categories of spin bowling: wrist spin and finger spin.
Unlike the old two-wheeled bowling machines, the "Merlyn" bowling machine, can deliver spin without the head of the machine being tilted. [ 3 ] Crucially, the machine was claimed to be able to emulate Shane Warne 's leg breaks , and although he is dismissive of its usefulness, [ 4 ] the England batsmen disagree, and consider their ability to ...
The topspinner is a common variation is the arsenal of the finger spinner. [2] The most common method of delivery is for the ball to be delivered with the arm supinated further than the stock delivery with the side of the hand pointing towards the batsman, and the ball is released off the outside of the first finger, in such a way that it spins directly towards the batsman.

An off cutter is a type of delivery in the game of cricket.It is bowled by fast bowlers.. A bowler releases a normal fast delivery with the wrist locked in position and the first two fingers positioned on top of the cricket ball, giving it spin about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the length of the pitch.
The spinning ball remained upright on his finger for a millisecond before tumbling off. Curry caught the ball and slammed it to the floor with a laugh. “Can’t do it," he said.
When the ball rolls out of the hand (from the side near the little finger, as in a normal leg break), it emerges with a clockwise spin (from the bowler's point of view). A googly may also be achieved by bowling the ball as a conventional leg break, but spinning the ball further with the fingers just before it is released. [6]
