It is delivered from the side of the hand, halfway between the release of a leg

break and a googly.

STEP ONE
Hold the ball like a normal leg break - 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.

STEP TWO
For a top spinner, the wrist will be about 90 degrees to the floor and the seam
will be pointing to the batsman in flight.

Like a googly, the back of the hand should be facing the sky when the ball is
released.

The ball should be rotating in an anti-clockwise direction with the seam facing the
batsman. The third finger should be the one doing all the work.
