Johan Botha ( born 2 May 1982 ) is a South African-Australian cricket coach and former cricketer who played for the South African national team between 2005 and 2012 . He moved to Australia in 2012 to play in that country 's domestic leagues , and in 2016 became an Australian citizen . In January 2019 , he retired from all forms of the game . Born in Johannesburg , Botha represented the South African under-19s at the 2000 Under-19 World Cup , and made his first-class debut for Eastern Province later in the year , aged 18 . An all-rounder who bats right-handed and bowls right-arm off-spin , he made his international debut in November 2005 , in a One Day International ( ODI ) against India . Botha 's Test debut came in January 2006 , against Australia , although at the end of the match he was reported for an illegal bowling action ( an issue that arose on several more occasions ) . He would play only five Test matches in total during his career , the last of which came in 2010 . Botha had much greater success in the limited-overs formats , representing South Africa at the 2009 World Twenty20 , the 2009 Champions Trophy , the 2010 World Twenty20 , the 2011 World Cup , and the 2012 World Twenty20 . He captained the team for periods at both ODI and Twenty20 International level , generally in the absence of more senior players . Botha retired from international cricket after the 2012 World Twenty20 , signing a contract to captain South Australia in Australian domestic cricket . He currently only plays at Twenty20 level , representing the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League . He has also made appearances in the Indian Premier League and the Caribbean Premier League .
Spin bowling is a bowling technique in cricket and the bowler is referred to as a spinner .
James Edward Charles Franklin ( born 7 November 1980 ) is a New Zealand cricket coach and former cricketer , who played all forms of the game internationally . Franklin played as a left-arm medium-fast bowler who swung the ball , and an important middle order batsman who hit the ball with power . He began his career as a capable left-handed lower order batsman , but has greatly improved his batting and is now seen as a first class middle order batsmen . He is one of only two New Zealanders to ever take a hat-trick in Test cricket ( the other being Peter Petherick ) . He achieved this feat on 20 October 2004 against Bangladesh .
Pace bowler ( also referred to as fast bowling ) is one of two main approaches to bowling in the sport of cricket , the other being spin bowling . Practitioners of pace bowling are usually known as fast bowlers , quicks , or pacemen . They can also be referred to as a seam bowler , a swing bowler or a 'fast bowler who can swing it ' to reflect the predominant characteristic of their deliveries . Strictly speaking , a pure swing bowler does not need to have a high degree of pace , though dedicated medium-pace swing bowlers are rarely seen at Test level these days . The aim of pace bowling is to deliver the ball in such a fashion as to cause the batsman to make a mistake . The bowler achieves this by making the hard cricket ball deviate from a predictable , linear trajectory at a speed that limits the time the batsman has to compensate for it . For deviation caused by the ball 's stitching ( the seam ) , the ball bounces off the pitch and deflects either away from the batsman 's body , or inwards towards them . Swing bowlers on the other hand also use the seam of the ball but in a different way . To 'bowl swing ' is to induce a curved trajectory of the cricket ball through the air . Swing bowlers use a combination of seam orientation , body position at the point of release , asymmetric ball polishing , and variations in delivery speed to affect an aerodynamic influence on the ball . The ability of a bowler to induce lateral deviation or 'sideways movement ' can make it difficult for the batsman to address the flight of the ball accurately . Beyond this ability to create an unpredictable path of ball trajectory , the fastest bowlers can be equally potent by simply delivering a ball at such a rate that a batsman simply fails to react either correctly , or at all .
Alfonso Clive Thomas ( born 9 February 1977 ) is a South African former professional cricketer . He is a right arm fast-medium bowler and a big hitting lower-order batsman . Playing in South African domestic cricket for North West , Northerns , the Titans , the Lions , and the Dolphins , Thomas has also played English county cricket for Warwickshire and Somerset , Indian Premier League matches for the Pune Warriors , and in Australian domestic cricket for the Adelaide Strikers and the Perth Scorchers . In June 2014 , Thomas took four wickets in four balls in a County Championship game against Sussex . He was a pioneer of death bowling in the early years of T20 cricket .

He was the joint highest paid player in the 2010 Indian Premier League , playing for Mumbai Indians . In September 2019 , Kieron Pollard was named as the captain of the West Indies ' One Day International ( ODI ) and Twenty20 International ( T20I ) teams .
Saeed Ajmal ( Punjabi , Urdu : سعید اجمل ; born 14 October 1977 ) is a Pakistani cricket coach and former cricketer , who played all forms of the game . He is a right-arm off-spin bowler who bats right handed . Regarded as one of the best spinners in the world of his era , Ajmal was rated the best ODI and T20I bowler in the world and second in Tests at various times between 2011 and 2014 . At domestic level in Pakistan he represented Faisalabad , with whom he won the 2005 ABN-AMRO Twenty-20 Cup ; Khan Research Laboratories ; and Islamabad . Ajmal made his One Day International debut for Pakistan in July 2008 at the age of 30 , and a year later played his first Test . In 2009 he was reported for having a suspect bowling action , but after being cleared he helped Pakistan win the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 . Ajmal played for Worcestershire as an overseas player in English domestic cricket in 2011 . From November 2011 to December 2014 , Ajmal was ranked by the International Cricket Council as the number one bowler in ODIs . He reached the same ranking in T20Is between October and December 2012 , while his highest Test ranking was second between January and July of the same year . He is one of four Test bowlers that made their debut after the age of thirty to take more than 100 test wickets , along with Clarrie Grimmett , Dilip Doshi and Ryan Harris . On 28 January 2012 , in his 20th Test , Ajmal became the quickest Pakistani to take 100 Test wickets . He holds the record of leading wicket taker ( 85 ) in Twenty20 International cricket before Shahid Afridi broke this record ( 101 ) .
An off break is the type of delivery in the sport of cricket . It is the attacking delivery of an off spin bowler . Off breaks are known as off spinners . An off break is bowled by holding the cricket ball in the palm of the hand with the seam running across under all the fingers . As the ball is released , the fingers roll down the right side of the ball ( for a right-handed bowler ) , giving the ball a clockwise spin as seen from behind . When the ball bounces on the pitch , the spin causes it to deviate towards the right from the bowler 's perspective , this is to the left from the batsman 's point of view or towards the leg side of a right-handed batsman . The ball spins away from the off side . An off spin bowler will bowl mostly off breaks , varying them by adjusting the line and length of the deliveries . Off breaks are considered to be one of the easier spin deliveries for a right-handed batsman to play . This is because the ball moves in towards the batsman 's body , meaning the batsman 's legs are usually in the path of the ball if it misses the bat or takes an edge . This makes it difficult for the bowler to get the batsman out bowled or caught from an off break , but it does mean there is a chance of leg before wicket , assuming the ball has not turned enough to miss the leg stump . A left-handed batsman has more difficulty facing off break bowling , because the ball moves away from his body .
Shakib Al Hasan ( Bengali : সাকিব আল হাসান ; born 24 March 1987 ) is a Bangladeshi international cricketer who has played all three formats of the game . Internationally , Shakib has been recognised as one of the greatest all-rounders of all time . He was ranked as one of the world 's most famous athletes by ESPN WORLD FAME 100 in 2019 . His aggressive left-handed batting style in the middle order , controlled slow left-arm orthodox bowling , and athletic fielding has helped him win trophies in top leagues across the world . In 2015 , Shakib became the first and only cricketer in history to be ranked the 'No.1 all-rounder ' by ICC in its Player Rankings in all three formats of the game ( Test , Twenty20 and One Day Internationals ) . He is currently ranked no.1 in odis and no.2 in tests and t-20s . On 13 January 2017 , he registered the highest individual score ( 217 ) by a Bangladeshi batsman in Tests . In November 2018 , he became the first bowler for Bangladesh to take 200 wickets in Tests . In June 2019 , Shakib became the fastest player to score 6,000 runs and take 250 wickets in ODIs in just 199 matches . He is the highest run scorer as well as the highest wicket taker for Bangladesh in ICC ODI World Cups . He is also the only cricketer to score 1000 runs and to take 30 wickets in World Cup . At the 2019 Cricket World Cup , Shakib became the first cricketer to score 600 runs and take 10 wickets in a single World Cup .
Off spin is a type of finger spin bowling in cricket . A bowler who uses this technique is called an off spinner . Off spinners are right-handed spin bowlers who use their fingers to spin the ball from a right-handed batsman 's off side to the leg side ( that is , towards the right-handed batsman , or away from a left-handed batsman ) . This contrasts with leg spin , in which the ball spins from leg to off and which is bowled with a very different action . A left-handed bowler who bowls with the same action as an off spinner is known as a left-arm orthodox spin bowler . While the orthodox spinner has the same action as an off-spinner , the ball itself spins in the opposite direction ( akin to a right arm leg spinner ) . Off spin is generally considered less difficult to play than leg spin , as off breaks typically spin less than leg breaks , and do not generally possess the same loopy , potentially deceptive flight . In addition , off spinners tend to have a smaller repertoire of deliveries to choose from . However , the off spinner often bowls faster and more accurately than a leg spinner , and can therefore deceive the batsman with changes in the pace of the ball . Another common weapon of the off spinner is the arm ball , which does not spin but goes straight on with the arm . More skilled offspinners also have the topspinner . Aside from these variations in spin , varying the speed , length and flight of the ball are also important for the off spinner .

A leg break is a type of delivery in the sport of cricket . It is a delivery of a right-handed leg spin bowler . A leg break is bowled by holding the cricket ball in the palm of the hand with the seam running across under all the fingers . As the ball is released , the wrist is rotated to the left and the ball flicked by the ring finger , giving the ball an anti-clockwise spin as seen from behind . When the ball bounces on the pitch , the spin causes it to deviate towards the left from the bowler 's perspective ; this is to the right from the batsman 's point of view , or towards the off side of a right-handed batsman . The ball spins away from the leg side , and this is where it gets the name leg break , meaning it breaks away from the leg . The turn is mostly when the ball pitches . A leg spin bowler will bowl mostly leg breaks , varying them by adjusting the line and length , and amount of side spin versus topspin of the deliveries . Leg breaks are considered to be one of the more difficult spin deliveries for a right-handed batsman to play because the ball moves away from their body . This means that any miscalculation can result in an outside edge off the bat and a catch going to the wicket-keeper or slip fielders . Alternatively , for a ball aimed outside the leg stump , the breaking may be so sharp that the ball goes behind a right-handed batsman and hits the stumps - the batsman is then said ( informally ) to be bowled around his legs . The animation on this page illustrates such a delivery .
