Left-arm unorthodox spin as the name suggests is bowled by a left arm bowler and it is the mirror image of the right-handed leg spin bowler.Spin is generated by the wrist and so the ball turns sharply towards the right-handed batsman.Left -arm unorthodox delivery moves from the off side to the leg side of a right-handed batsman.
Left-arm unorthodox spin is also known as slow left-arm chinaman (SLC)
Left-arm unorthodox grip is exactly that of a Leg-spin grip of a right-arm bowler.
Charlie 'Buck' Llewellyn-The man who said to be the inventor of chinaman bowling
Charlie ‘Buck’ Llewellyn, a South African all-rounder who played at the end of the 19th century is said to have invented this delivery.This kind of bowling is very rare in cricket because of its difficult to bowl and also it is considered to be less dangerous since it moves towards the right-handed batsman rather than away from the batsman.
