No opening titles. Begins with cricketeer, in headshot, addressing the viewer: “The Indian spinners are considered to be the best in the world; in particular [Erapalli] Prassana and [Bishan] Bedi. Now the things to look for in a good spinner are the changes of pace they are able to achieve and also the use of the crease; the way they vary their angle in the crease ...” A voiceover takes over the narration as Bedi demonstrates his left-arm spinner bowling technique. An interviewer, holding a microphone to him on the pitch [of the Hagley Oval?], asks questions about his grip of the ball and other aspects of his technique. Prasanna follows demonstrating his off spinner bowling technique and answering the interviewer's questions on same. “I would rather catch the batsman on the blindspot,” Prasanna reveals in conclusion.
