There's only one place to start with the bosie I suppose and that is with arguably its greatest ever exponent:

Had a go at a few of these tonight, I could go back to bowling these so easily and I can get them to turn so well, kind of bugs me a bit that they come out so much easier than my leg breaks.

That's the way to go! I think next season I'm going to be bowling Flippers and Top-Spinners amongst my Leg Breaks, but I may try the Top-Spinner as my main ball.

the last match i played.i had played a match before with the same team.and the earlier i was bowling small and big leg breaks,with some other variations in between.but mostly legspin.we won the last match.and they cound'nt play my bowling so they challenged us for the next match.that they will win and they will smash me.i was bowling and they were expecting only leg spinners from me.and i bowled a top spinner ,that dipped and the batsman played for a six over long on but because of dip,he was caught on long on.a batsman was beaten with my googly.he went back and ball touched his pads.next i bowled a flipper got him lbw.one more flipper and bowled.both batsman went back to play the flipper.it was three wickets. Yeh! one leg spin edged and not caught by the long on.because it went to mid on.no mans land.one more edge towards keeper but left.
my father told me to bowl with four steps run up so you get control.because i was changing the way of spinning the ball.bowling with 4 steps made my length a bit forward.starting 2 overs were bad and gave lot of runs.then i came back to my old run up and then i got my rhythm,the later 2 over were the best overs.it was a t20. well my performance with senior squad is- 6 t20 and 13 wickets.

Googly's going great guns in preseason practice, some say they're picking it but I haven't seen them doing much with it!

When the ball's wet I bowl my legspin deliveries cross seam and work bloody hard to dry the ball off after every delivery, another thing I've learnt is to dry the seam and 'pinch' it back into shape. By 'pinching' the wet seam the ball gets a longer life and the seam becomes more prominent and useful when the water cause the ball to swell.

yeah if you pinch the seam the umpire always tells me off for doing this when the ball is wet i dont know why and yeas i always carry a twole with me and yeas i do dry the ball after every bowl.
any tips on stopping callis ripping off it happened to me a month back and it happened a couple times before. i have bowled legspin for three seasons now.

The umpire shouldn't be getting you for pinching the seam, if he's doing that he may as well get you for drying the ball, picking the seam is one thing but pinching the seam to prevent the ball from falling to pieces is another. If the umpire carries down that line then let the ball get absurdly wet and deformed and demand that you're allowed a replacement if the umpire doesn't even allow you to do that then you're almost in walk off territory.
