Coaching Programmes

The Spin Bowling Clinic is unique. Nowhere else will you find the same quality of technical coaching combined with an holistic approach to the whole cricketer. So while the main objective is to create top level spin bowlers, doing this properly requires not just technical expertise but a wider understanding of what makes a person the best they can be – and then what helps them keep improving.

The main purpose is to provide the best possible coaching education that is unique, innovative and non-restrictive. We allow players and coaches to express themselves and to promote the art of spin bowling culture throughout the world.

Our programmes, both online and offline, reflect that. We endeavour to provide players skills that benefit them on and off the field. We deliver elite level coaching to players regardless of age, gender, skill or location.

The Spin Bowling Clinic is the only private organisation in the world which operates a spin bowling development programme at all stages of the game, for all spin bowlers, from grass roots to international level competitions.

Eranga’s Spin Quotes

#Thinkspinbesmart

Coaches need to understand that spinners come in different shapes and sizes. All bowl at varying paces, trajectories and angles of spin, so there is no right or wrong. Think Warne and Kumble. They both bowl with relentless accuracy. Ones spins big and other barely spins the stock ball.

No matter what spin the ball as hard as you can.

Blisters and cuts in your fingers remind you who you are.

Thinking outside the box with unassailable courage -the way to bowl in T20 cricket.

In test cricket bowling to a plan means each ball is part of the plot for a dismissal.

In ODI cricket, bowl to a situation and create pressure. Then you’re in business!

The indomitable character of a spinner comes within the power of the mind.

Unfold the spin myth? NO - Line & length YES - Control line & length

When you’ve felt you’re in the zone, there’s no better feeling at all when bowling spin.

Confuse the batter, not you.

Over decades of my experience coaching spinners, it’s always a game of patience developing spin bowlers. It is so important that we are patient in helping them, understanding their needs and observing deeply more often when we say something to them.

Practice doesn’t depend on just bowling, rather it requires a continuous awareness of the flow of consciousness and feeling and sensing whatever is happening – composing yourself and always being aware of that flow.

Unfortunately, there is an expectation amongst some coaches and some captains I witnessed that all wrist spinners should bowl like Shane Warne, when in fact it is likely no one ever will.

Players must focus on developing the fundamental skills of bowling, for these are what exposed at the higher levels.

Encourage a rhythmical approach to the crease, with a gradual build up in momentum allowing the spinner to explode through the crease.

World best spinners not only practise but they make sure the practice takes them all the way to the middle, so they deliver the performance they have practised.
