I've heard the term but don't know what it means.

A 'chinaman' bowler is essentially a mirror image of a r/arm leg spin wrist bowler. He is a left arm slow wrist bowler who's stock ball spins into a r/h batsman. A leg spin stock ball spins away from the r/hander. Not sure where the term originated. Will look it up.

Does anyone understand this comment? I'm afraid it's too much for my simplistic knowledge of cricket.

The delivery was named after a West Indies left-arm finger spin player of Chinese origin, Ellis “Puss” Achong in a game against England. The batsman Walter Robins lost his wicket and was so baffled by the delivery that he said after the match “fancy move by a bloody Chinaman!”

Nice story.

One thing cricket has in spades is its legendary stories.

Did you know, a long time ago, England lost a test series to Australia. The English media declared English cricket dead and burned the bails. Those ashes are now interred in The Ashes trophy.

That is essentially how the Ashes trophy and series were born. Others may differ on the exact details. Makes for fascinating reading.

An Ashes Cricket quiz:

* What two nations play for the Ashes.

* Who has won most Ashes series.

* Donald Bradman hit the greatest Ashes score in history in 1930. Was it a century, double century or a triple century. Guess the number of runs as a bonus.

*Who captained Australia in that series. Initials are BW.

The first two were. I had an idea of the 4th. I knew it was a Wood******. I knew the third was a triple century, obviously, but while looking for the exact name for #4, I stumbled upon the exact answer for #3.

Good for you Chris. Just that I have known dishonest people on forums before and tell them "cheats only cheat themselves".
