Zooter

Shane Warne is credited with the development of the Zooter

‘Zooter’ is a special variation by a leg-break bowler. It is another form of the flipper. Australian leg spinner Shane Warne is credited with the development of this kind of delivery. The flipper is a faster delivery that is squeezed out from the front of the palm with the thumb and first and second fingers.

The zooter also has a similar release but it lacks the backspin that is imparted on a flipper. The zooter has very little or no spin at all and the ball skids along the ground without much bounce and hurries on to the batsman.
