But what about left handed leg spin bowlers? Why do they not get as much turn as right handed ones?

I think, that as left arm leg spinners are so rare that they are usually just left handed versions of say, Anil kumble. ie they do not turn it. I am a sure a decent left arm leg spinner would get as much turn as Warne.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leftarmchinaman (talk • contribs).

Bevan spun it quite a lot, but he was rather inaccurate. As for Warne vs Kumble, the Indian style of spin appears to not favour large amounts of spin. If you look at India's record, they bat very very well against Warne and Muralitharan but not so well against guys who have less spin but more variations in pace and bounce, like Saqlain, who is a bit more like Harbhajan than Murali. Theoretically, nothing stops a left wristspinner being like a legspinner. Ditto, theoretically left arm orthodox should also be able to bowl a doosra.Blnguyen | rant-line 01:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, theoretically a SLC, could be as good as a leg spinner but a quality left arm leg spinner is so rare, that in praticse an accurate big spinning- left arm leg spinner would be an once in a lifetime find. And yes, a SLA should be able to bowl a dooasra, i think Monty Pansear is developing one.

I feel that their should be some information in their on drift.
