Bowling spin is one of the most difficult things to do in cricket. Pace bowlers require a lot of stamina and energy whereas the spin bowlers require control and discipline. Spin has always been a wicket taking option. A very good spin bowler can have an impact in all three forms of the game. He will be the one to whom the captain will turn under crunch situation. During 1990’s we saw spin bowing at its best. Shane Warne and Muttaih Muralitharan were in prime form and gave sleepless nights for batsmen around the world. They shared a total of 1440 international wickets among them. But once these players retired, we could hardly find a promising spin bowler. All international teams are struggling to find at least one quality spinner. Spin bowling is not as easy as it looks. If a bowler is not good, he will be smashed all over the park. On the other hand, if he is good he can change the course of the match within few minutes. Youngsters always want to be aggressive. Therefore, they try to bowl fast. If this scenario continues, top teams will find very difficult to get twenty wickets to win a test match.
