Your Best Re-Gen

i know it reads like that but when you see the replays the left armer bowls with the leg spin action if he is a right hand bat

For me it's Jeff Cockraine, he got an England contract in this 2nd year!
(Sorry, no screenie)

But if he was bowling with a leg spin action, he'd be bowling right handed!

 

[Griffo]

he bowls with the same action that shane warne uses but left handed

 

[andrew_nixon]

he bowls with the same action that shane warne uses but left handed

You mean he bowls with a left arm chinaman action then?

 

[Griffo]

yes! but it doesnt differ from the right hand leg spin action its the same but in reverse due to a different hand

i had an argument about this the other day, a guy i know said brad hogg was a great leg spinner!!!! wouldnt accept that hes a left-arm chinaman bowler, said as it spins the same it should be called the same! he even said bowling a doosra should be called a leg spinner! the guys an idiot

 

[freddiw]

the guy is right i bowl left arm orthadox(monty/vettori) and i am called an off spinner

hogg bowls leg spin because its wrist spin. It doesnt matter which way the ball spins

If you bowl left-handed you can not possibly be an off-spinner! Off spinners ALL bowl right-handed! It may be the left-handed equivalent of off-spin, but it is not off-spin.

Look through profiles on cricinfo or cricket archive. If you can find one that says left-arm off spin or left-arm leg-spin, I'll give you my next wage.

England produce good spinners on the game. On mine they have 2 spinners that are more talented then Monty & Rashid.

very much correct, hogg is a chinaman because he bowls a wrist spin action same as Warne but as he is left handed it spins the same way as traditional off-spinner, hence why most left arm spinners are taught to bowl orthodox (off spin action) because this replicates leg spin and is more effective.

I have a Re-Gen (I think it is) from the West Indies called Ryan Nurse (RFM Bowler), and in his ODI debut he got something like 4-47! Pretty impressive aye!
