Bowling accurate leg spin is hard enough, but to bowl a whole over accurately and also to a plan is the skill of a master craftsman. Someone like Shane Warne.

Every bowler needs a plan.

For most, especially the inexperienced, it doesn't get more complicated than "hit the top of off stump". Of course, there is nothing wrong with that plan. It often works. But batsmen are canny. They don't always do what you want.

That's why the really good bowler is able to bowl to a plan that goes beyond the basics and into the wicket-taking stratosphere.

This week's winner of the Cricket Show podcast question competition is Alec. He wins a free coaching course from PitchVision Academy.

The winning question was:

"I am a keen slow left arm bowler. When I bowl the ball the delivery has an element of under-spin (back-spin). What is frustrating is that I am trying to release the ball with an element of top-spin. At times I am sure the ball is being released with top-spin on it, but looking at the way the ball is spinning in the air (using red/white balls) it has back-spin. Have you seen this type of issue before? A cricket coach suggested to me that I suffer from a common off-spinner's undercutter issue, but to me this means the ball would be spinning tilted back like a UFO when this is not clearly happening. My goal is to bowl the ball at a 45 degree angle with a combination of side and top-spin."

How many players over the years have had success with unorthodox techniques?

It would be easier to list those who have been top players and been totally orthodox! That's because the human body is tremendously variable between people. We move differently. We think differently.

On top of this variation is the opinions of the different coaches you will experience as you play. Everyone likes to have a say from club and school coach to parent and even higher levels. There are many coaches at different levels of skill with many ideas on how to help you.

The only way to unpick all that is to be your own coaching manual.

I am a very part time spinner. Yet I've claimed the wicket of many a first-class batsman in the nets following an ill advised premeditated advance towards one of my oh-so-friendly off breaks. Lets be honest, we haven't just heard about this, we've all been there ourselves.
