Throwing guggly

Roman · July 26, 2000, 7:29pm

Does anybody knows the technique to throw a guggly. As a leg-spinner, I don’t know how to throw it ‘technically correctly’. I can kinda throw a ball in between in the over with the same bowling action that would off-spin but the way I do is basically throw it like an off-spinner which is not really technically correct way of throwing a guggly. Any tips or site references would be appreciated. Thanks.

Roman, don't use the word 'throw' if you make it to the international cricket arena.

I dunno about technical correctness, but if you have strong wrists you can use them to your advantage by snapping or turning only your wrist after your hand reaches max height in your action. Follow-through with the rest of your arm slightly later than you would bowling a normal ball.

If you get the chance, watch spinvision the next time Warne or Mushie are playing, that should be loadsa help.

Thanks Umair, that was really useful article.

Elmo, I have no intentions for international cricket, I just trying to survie the local league :)

Roman,

its fairly easy technique but I have to physically (in real life) show you how to do it. Cant explain it here on in emails.

Najim, I'm coming to England just for that then!

well googly could be bowled by following the following technique invented by pathanay khan in late 1359'2:

Pehlay onglee mein geend purkein
phir osko thora chaantein
phir osko poochein
phir thora aaur chaantein
phir osko dhopp mein sokhnay ko daal dein
phir ospay itna thookein kay woh geelee ho gae
abhee aap bowl na karein kyoun kay woh geelee hay aaur haath say slip honay ka andesha hay
ab bowl ko kameez say poonchein
phir aap batsmen ko taeyaar honay ka ishara karein
ab aap geend ko yoon pukrein
phir yoon karein
phir yoon
aaur phir yoon
aaur yoon yoon
burra saa moun banatay howaey geend phenkein
last and most importantly bowl phektay howay kaheyeh "jeyeh khan"
insha allah wicket aap ka ho ga
ghar jaeyeh moun haath dhoeyeh aaur pathanay khan ko dua dejeyeh
