Talk:Leg spin

message: It is bizarre that the "history" of leg spin bowling appears to begin only in the 1980s and contains exactly one notable incident since. 
Earlier versions of this article contained a list of notable leg spin bowlers.  For someone trying to learn a little about the history of the game, this was invaluable. I don't know what caused this to be removed, but, whatever it was, it was regrettable.  You can argue if so-and-so belongs on the list, but it is vastly better to have such a list and such arguments than not to have the list at all.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vonhangman (talk • contribs) 05:30, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Bevan spun it quite a lot, but he was rather inaccurate. As for Warne vs Kumble, the Indian style of spin appears to not favour large amounts of spin. If you look at India's record, they bat very very well against Warne and Muralitharan but not so well against guys who have less spin but more variations in pace and bounce, like Saqlain, who is a bit more like Harbhajan than Murali. Theoretically, nothing stops a left wristspinner being like a legspinner. Ditto, theoretically left arm orthodox should also be able to bowl a doosra.Blnguyen | rant-line 01:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why does YellowMonkey keep removing Graeme Cremer from the list of notable Zimbabwean leg-spinners? I'd say Cremer is one of the more notable leg-spinners seeing that, because of the player exodus, he was thrown into the international arena at age 18. For several years he was considered a First Class specialist, but has pulled some impressive ODI and Twenty20 International performances in the past 6 months. I see no reason why Cremer is not considered "notable".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Battye (talk • contribs) 14:59, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Cremer has played six Tests and played 13 wickets. Using the same standard Nathan Hauritz is a notable offie! This isn't a list of every leg spinner that has ever played and YM was right to remove it. -- Mattinbgn\talk 10:52, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Should the page Leg break be merged into this page? Are they not essentially the same concept - the caption for the gif image is 'A leg break or leg spin delivery'! While one is the type of bowling and the other is the actual delivery, this distinction is very fine, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Are there any other differences??

replies: text: I'd agree with that - it could be used as a section to deal with the actual mechanics and so on, with some stuff culled out no doubt. We need to make sure we link this all very clearly to left arm unorthodox as well btw. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:14, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, a leg break is the stock delivery of a leg spinner, and no need for two articles about it. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:24, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

text: I support merging the pages. Much of the material overlaps, and it would be more use to have a longer article that can bring things together. As said above, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Mrh30 (talk) 16:57, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
