What is a spinner leg?

Published in Cricket Bowling 1 min read

A "spinner leg" refers to a type of bowler in cricket called a leg spinner.

Here's a breakdown of what that means:

  • Leg Spinner: A leg spinner is a bowler who employs a wrist spin technique with their right arm.
  • Leg Break Delivery: The typical delivery of a leg spinner is called a leg break.
  • Spin Direction: The ball, after bouncing, spins from right to left from the bowler's perspective, or from leg side to off side from the batter's perspective.

In essence, the term describes the style of bowling characterized by right-arm wrist spin that causes the ball to spin from leg to off (for a right-handed batter) upon pitching.
