Off Spin. Off spinners (or left armers bowling to left handed bats) have two classic ways of taking wickets. Firstly through bowling the right hander through the 'gate' of bat and pad, and secondly caught on the leg side (ideally short leg).The ball will tend to be with the spin onto the leg side or driven quite straight.ff spinners (or left armers bowling to left handed bats) have two classic ways of taking wickets.
