What’s a “legspinner ?

Just like baseball has different types of pitchers, a legspinner in cricket focuses more on delivering the ball with spin rather than speed.

Two type of spinners - leg and off. Former uses wrists to introduce spin while the latter uses fingers.

It’s cricket....who the hell knows.

The whole sport is bizarre IMO.

Two bases??? Weird.
