==Finger spin== The topspinner is a common variation is the arsenal of the finger spinner.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1622125182818951912 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-01-14 |archive-date=2011-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110418084748/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1622125182818951912 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The most common method of delivery is for the ball to be delivered with the arm supinated further than the stock delivery with the side of the hand pointing towards the batsman, and the ball is released off the outside of the first finger, in such a way that it spins directly towards the batsman.<ref>Bob Woolmer "the Art and Science of Cricket"</ref> However, a second method used by [[Muttiah Muralitharan]] is for the arm to be rotated further so that the back of the hand is facing the batsman; the ball is then given a large amount of spin by flexion of the wrist. The right-handed offspinner bowler will look to pitch this delivery on or outside off-stump, in anticipation that the batsman will play for the turn and give an edge behind the wicket. The left-arm orthodox bowler will typically bowl the ball on middle stump, looking to beat the inside edge of the bat and gain a bowled or lbw dismissal. Muttiah Muralitharan, [[Tim May]], and [[Harbhajan Singh]] are examples of offspinners who frequently used this delivery.
