Q:How do you bowl the doosra with an off-break action?
A:The grip for the Doosra is identical to the offspinner’s grip. The seam of the ball running down the fingers and most of the spin being imparted by the index finger,follow a regular bowling action similar to bowling an off-break. Just before the time of the release, you will rotate the wrist so that it now faces the batsman at the same time inducing more rotation on the ball by using your shoulder as well. Try not to bend the elbow if possible as this might be a giveaway to batsman.

Q:Which all exercises /tasks should be in an idle fielding drill ??
A:I am going to give you the 7 most important to me. 1.Press Up.Possibly the most unglamorous and underrated exercise in the world, the press up is a superb chest, arm and trunk stability exercise. There are loads of variations such as adding a handclap for power and you can do it with no equipment at all. 2.Squat. 3.Single Leg Squat. 4.Chin Up 5.Bent Over Rows 6.Medicine Ball Throws.The key is to use a light ball (3kg or so) and throw harder. You can use a partner or a wall to help. 7.Romanian Deadlift

Q:why does the cricket ball reverse swings what should be done so that the ball starts reverse swinging as early as possible
A:Shine the ball a lot and make the other side(the rough side) as rough as possible.To test if the ball is ready for a reverse swing, just throw the ball with straight seam to a fielder and if the ball swings towards the shining surface,then it is ready to dance the batsman out.
