offspinner

Finger-spun cricket ball

An offspinner is a cricket bowler who specializes in off spin—deliveries that rotate from the off side toward the leg side when bowled to a right-handed batsman.

The term also refers to the ball itself: He bowled a sharp offspinner that caught the edge.

Also spelled off-spinner.
