How To Bowl The Off Cutter

Sport : Cricket

This delivery has become particularly popular in recent years by quick bowlers, and if they have a slower ball in their armoury then this is often the one that they bowl.

This ball is designed to move from off to leg - but on pitching, rather than before pitching like swing which moves in the air.

There are a few different grips to use, but basically the ball is held in the off spin grip, so if in doubt consult your resident offspinner for tips on how to grip the ball.

Note that it is an effective ball but do not overuse it - rather use for the element of surprise that it can introduce. Also try changing the speed at which you bowl the ball and see which one gets you the most spin on pitching, and ultimately the most success!
