Well, lots of people. Who in particualr are you referring to in your moronic ramblings?

 

[sachin]

fricken happy thoughts who else bowls (good) off spin in new zealand(team).

 

[andrew_nixon]

Well in this New Zealand team there isn't even a part-time off spinner. So just who are you referring to?

 

[sachin]

he is not bowling very well but he is awesome.work it out for yourself.

New Zealand lost 7 wickets for 9 runs in the last 9-over period. Shoaib Akhtar got 6 wickets in that innings, and New Zealand are 103 all out. : Now, Taufeeq and Farhat are thumping Butler, with Taufeeq hitting two fours off his opening over. Shoaib even got a standing ovation! :

There is no off-spinner in the New Zealand team.

 

[sachin]

a left hander.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Off-spinners are all right handed.

 

[sachin]

your trying to be technicly (spelling i know)correct.

 

[sachin]

what is a left handed off spinner then andrew.

 

[andrew_nixon]

There isn't.

There are 4 types of spinners.

Right Handed

Off Spinners, eg. Saqlain Mushtaq, Murali
Leg Spinners, eg. Shane Warne, Stuart McGill

Left Handed

Slow Left Arm Orthodox, eg. Daniel Vettori, Phil Tufnell
Slow Left Arm Chinaman, eg. Brad Hogg, Me.

You are making an easy mistake. A Slow Left Arm Orthodox bowler does use the same grip and hand action as an off-spinner, but he cannot possibly be an off-spinner as he turns the ball in the other direction.

 

[sachin]

if murali was an left arm spinner then he would be bowling slow left arm orthodox would't he?and who bowls slow left arm orhtodox for new zealand.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Daniel Vettori.

But he is not an off-spinner.

 

[sachin]

stupid left hander(no offence to most left handers).
