    What is more difficult: Facing a quality off spin attack or leg spin attack?

    Which is more difficult quality off breaks possibly with a doosra thrown in - or quality leg breaks combined with googlies/top spinners?

    Great, a new meme.

    Depends if one's right or cack handed, one supposes.
    - As featured in The Independent.

    "This is not the time for namby-pamby promising youngsters who might just do something; not the time for building for the future. Pragmatism rules and they don't come more pragmatic than Rogers."
    - Victor Marks makes the case for stiff-legged and stiff-armed 35 year old left-handers in Ashes squads

    ^ I'll translate- It depends if you are right or left handed. I'm a leftie and I find playing a quality Offie Much harder. But then again a righty would beg to differ.

    In general, leg spinners are considered more difficult for right handers and off spinners more difficult for left handers.
    Two gentlemen by the name of Lara and Tendulkar took that belief on its head and destroyed it.

    Are you allowed to admit that a parody thread is a parody?

    Probably cause there is no such thing as a quality left arm spinner
    Tendulkar = the most overated player EVER!!
    Beckham = the most overated footballer EVER!!
    Vassell = the biggest disgrace since rikki clarke!!

    Was this a typo TECO?. Since of course the likes of Verity, Underwood, Iqbal Qasim, Bedi, Vettori (@ his peak), Johnny Wardle would qualify as the quality LAS in test history.
