legspinner
Spin bowling specialist
A legspinner is a cricket bowler who uses wrist action to spin the ball from the leg side to the off side when it pitches—moving away from a right-handed batsman.
The delivery requires considerable skill to master, making quality legspinners relatively rare.
Also called a leg-break bowler.
Shane Warne was the greatest legspinner of his generation.
