What Is The Definition Of Off Spin In Cricket?
1. A style of bowling in which the bowler uses his or her fingers to add spin to the ball during a delivery. There are a number of deliveries that can be achieved using this style, such as an arm ball, a doosra or an off-break. Bowlers who use this style are typically called off-spinners, with left-handed off-spinners known as orthodox spinners. This is contrasted with another type of spin bowling in which the wrist is used to create spin on the ball (wrist spin).
