Your Cricket left arm chinaman...where are they?

well, bowlers who can spin the ball severely into right handers have always had good amounts of success.

take murali and swann.

those are offie. I thought we were talking about LAC
 
LAC spins the same direction as off spin, with more turn and more room for variation, so the 2 can be put in the same group, like left armers and leg spinners are in the same group

How much I miss the left arm Chinaman or Unortodox Spinners

Let me tell you one thing.

Left-arm unorthodox spin bowlers use a wrist hand action to spin the ball which turns from off to leg side of the cricket pitch. The direction of turn is the same as that of a traditional right-handed off spin bowler; however, the ball will usually turn more sharply due to the spin being imparted predominantly by the wrist. Some left-arm unorthodox bowlers bowl a leg spinner's "googly" (or "wrong'un"), which turns from right to left on the cricket pitch. The ball turns away from the batsman, as if the bowler were an orthodox left-arm spinner.

The left-arm unorthodox bowling action is bowled in common with a leg spin or leg break. Very few highly skilled left-arm wrist spinners have played at the international Test level. The South African Paul Adams, known for his unusual bowling action, is perhaps one of the best-known left-arm wrist spinners. Another notable wrist spinner is Michael Bevan from Australia, who was known for his speed and bounce. Others include Brad Hogg, Garfield Sobers and Dave Mohammed of the West Indies
