How to bowl a Slider in Cricket?

by on July 12, 2009

Slider is the delivery bowled by a Wrist spinner or a Leg Spinner and it is just the reverse of a Top-Spinner.The thumb faces the bowler in the slider delivery rather than facing the batsman as in Top-Spinner.

The slider delivery floats to a fuller length and bounces less than the batsman might expect and also the ball skids towards the batsman making him difficult to connect.It is usually called as the terrific delivery for the Leg Before Wicket (LBW).It is claimed that the Spin legend Shane Warne of Australia invented this delivery.

The slider is also called the orthodox back spinning top spinner, and has been bowled by many bolwers before Warne. Jenner, Holland, Benaud, Ring…the list goes on.
