Left-arm unorthodox spin

In cricket, left-arm unorthodox spin – often known as slow left-arm Chinaman and abbreviated to SLC – is a style of bowling. The bowler uses his wrist to spin the ball so that when it pitches it turns from off to leg for a right-handed batsman, i.e. from left to right from the bowler's perspective. The action and direction of turn exactly mirror those of a leg spin bowler (who bowls right-handed). A slow left-arm Chinaman bowler may also have a "googly" ("wrong'un" in Australia) which turns in the opposite way in order to trick the batsman. Charlie Llewellyn, a South African all-rounder who played at the end of the 19th century, laid claim to inventing the delivery.
