Cricket deliveries In cricket , a slider is a type of delivery bowled by a wrist spin bowler. Whereas a topspinner is released with the thumb facing the batsman, a slider is bowled with the thumb facing the bowler. On release the wrist and ring finger work to impart backspin to the ball. A topspinner tends to dip more quickly and bounce higher than a normal delivery. The slider does the opposite it floats to a fuller length and bounces less than the batsman might expect. The sliders will typically head towards the batsman with a scrambled seam with the ball not spinning in the direction of the seam, so the seam direction is not constant, unlike in conventional spin bowling . This has less effect on the flight and bounce but absence of leg spin may deceive the batsman. Frequently the slider is bowled with a mixture of side spin and backspin. This has the effect of making the ball harder to differentiate from the leg break for the batsmen without reducing the mechanical effects caused by the backspin. This delivery may skid straight on or it may turn a small amount. ref http www.espncricinfo.com wisdenalmanack content story 287315.html ref It is claimed that Shane Warne invented this type of delivery. However, this is inaccurate. The Australian spinner Peter Philpott used the technique in the 1960s, calling it simply an orthodox backspinner, while Australian allrounder and captain Richie Benaud used what he called his sliding topspinner which appears again to have been similar.
