Dear Saurav

In response to your question - I am taking it that you mean what advice would you have for spinners at the end of an innings, during a 20/20, or in powerplay overs.

Since the rise of 20/20, spin bowling has been the single most effective weapon from the bowling team - why? This is due simply to the lack of pace ofn the ball. The less pace on the ball, the more work the batter has to do to really 'hit' it.

I would suggest you consider the following%3A

1) Vary your pace - keep the batters guessing. Sometimes the slower you bowl the ball the better! Don't always be tempted to bowl the ball quicker and quciker the more a batter slogs you!

2) Dont give batters too much width - it is important batters cannot free there arms too much against you. If you bowl wicket to wicket, then you can set a field to this. If a batter keeps hitting you leg-side, bowl the ball futher outside off-stump.

3) Get your field placings right! Get your best fielders in the key postions for spinners (mid off and mid on, plus on the leg side)

You can also try the drill below to help you with your control...
