What Does Spinner Mean?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The word spinner refers to a spin bowler in sport of cricket. The main motive of spin bowling is to get enough spin on the cricket ball so that it can move with rapid rotation. When spin is applied on a ball and after it bounces on the pitch it will deviate at a certain angle thus making it quite difficult for the batsmen to hit the ball clearly. In the art of spin bowling, the speed at which the ball travels is not important. A typical spin ball delivery ranges between 40 to 55 mph.

    Spin bowling can be divided in four different categories; Off spin, Leg Spin, Left arm unorthodox spin and the left arm orthodox spin. These techniques can be varied via the use of a wrist motion or a finger motion.
