I dont get your point Mark?.. But is Brad Hogg not a leg spinner too?

according to cric info he's a Slow left-arm chinaman..and according to the Perth Scorchers website he's Left-arm chinaman

yet Shane Warne is a Legbreak googly on cric info

where abouts are you getting your info from in regards to Hogg being a leg break bowler ? maybe he filled out his player profile wrong ?

who?

Are you keeping up or are we going to fast for you.

maybe we could start another thread for this as it has nothing to do with the India squad, feel free to re-ask the question on an new thread.

No I dont think so. Feel free to trot back to the Swannies threads.

Yes Brad Hogg is a left arm orthodox spinner.

His standard ball to a right hander moves from off to leg as does a right hand off spin bowler.

His wrong'n or googly moves from leg to off to the right hander just like a right hand leg spin bowler.

Used to keep to one and his wrong'n got many a stumping for me.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The mechanics are the same eg Warne is a right arm over the wrist spinner and Hogg a left arm over the wrist, Lyon right arm off spinner Herath left arm off spinner, pretty clear to me..when Herath bowls to Hussey for example its the same as Lyon to a right hander, just about as many lefties around these days as right hand batsmen

I can think for myself i dont need to go to them to ask the difference between off spin and leg spin

your opinion may send the cricket world into a spin so to speak..
imagine if you singlehandedly caused the no.1 cricket website in the world, cricinfo, to change the way it displays bowlers bowling styles !
