Left-arm orthodox spin
The left handed equivalent of
Off spin bowling in the
sport of cricket. As a rule, it is harder for a right-handed
batsman to play than offspin as the ball spins away from the batsman. However, it is not considered as difficult to play as
Leg spin due to the (generally) smaller repertoire of delivery types. A good example of the effectiveness of this is the bowling of
Daniel Vettori, a current
New Zealand player.
