There is question already on here that was asked about a month ago called "What is the Grip of Off Break Bowler".

Have a look there they may have fixed the link.

Hold the ball cross seam. Place your index finger and middle finger on the seam and thumb under the seam. Dont let the ball touch your palm. The gap between the index finger and middle finger should be such that you can easily rotate the ball to spin it. To turn the ball you should turn your wrist the way we open the door knob. While doing this the knuckle of your index finger will be rubbed with ball. Rotate clockwise.
