Leg spin
Leg spin is a type of spin bowling used in cricket. A leg spin bowler attempts to flick the ball with his wrist in the act of delivery so as to cause the ball to spin anti-clockwise. When the ball bounces, the spin causes the ball to deviate sharply from right to left (as seen by the bowler) — i.e. away from the leg side of a right-handed batsman, which is the origin of the name "leg spin". The description applies exclusively to right-handed bowlers spinning the ball in this manner - other forms of spin bowling are known as off spin, left-arm orthodox spin, and the very rare left-arm unorthodox spin where left-handed bowlers use an action that mirrors a leg spinner.
