How To Bowl A Carrom Ball Like Ajanta Mendis

by on March 14, 2009

You can also bowl a “carrom ball” like Ajantha Mendis by just knowing easy two steps

The carrom ball is almost similar like a doosra that Muttiah Muralitharan delivers.Carrom ball is usually delivered by a off-spinner which behaves like a leg-break ball.The result of a “carrom ball” and a “Doosra” are almost same but Muralitharan and Mendis delivers it differently.

Step 1:-Hold the ball as shown in the given picture so that the seam faces the gully.Place your index finger on the seam and the thumb resting beneath the cricket ball.Now place your middle finger underneath the seam of the ball as shown in the picture.The middle finger should be placed exactly like how you get ready to strike a carrom with your middle finger.

Step 2:-At the time of delivery push the middle finger out which helps not only to spin like a regular leg break but also skids or shoots the ball because of the additional lateral force generated by the quick pushing of the ball.This causes further trouble for the batsmen.
