I've bowled terrible legspin since I was a kid, as a few on this forum can attest to
. After emigrating, I wanted to try to learn offspin bowling properly, because legspin isn't getting me anywhere and I'd like to be at least useful to batsmen in the nets.
Oh my god it is so much easier!? About four hours later and whilst I'm not great (and I have no facilities), it is so much easier to control line and length, and you can still rip it. I can use my two leggies as variation too... Just think, if I'd learned this ten years ago, I might have been decent!
Greatest respect to offspinners and their craft, of course. I'm just happy to be bowling decently!
