The Off Break
The technique
Stretch the middle joints of your index and middle finger well across the seam with the third and little fingers resting on the side of the seam as pictured. The thumb has little involvement as all the spin is generated from the index and middle fingers.
On releasing the ball, turn your wrist and the index finger in a clockwise direction to impart spin on the ball, giving the ball a good 'tweak' at the point of delivery.
Magic Moment
Michael Vaughan bowls Sachin Tendulkar: 2nd test match, 2002
Vaughan's dismissal of arguably the greatest batsman in the world proved that part time spin bowlers can still pull remarkable deliveries out of the bag when required. With the modern day equivalent to Don Bradman making inroads into the England attack, Nasser Hussain turned to Vaughan who sent down a perfectly flighted delivery outside Tendulkar's off-stump to beat his drive and bowl India's danger man through the gate.
