Because the ones doing that with the right arm are incredibly small and mediocre?

I can't recall ever seeing Adams bowl a standard wristspinner's Break delivery. His stock-ball was the Googly. Not to say he never did, but I never saw him manage it. He did spin his Googly plenty though, and turned it far more than your normal left-arm fingerspinner. Had he been able to bowl with Warne-esque accuracy, he'd have been quite some bowler.Yeah, Adams did bowl many googlies. May have been the stock delivery and he certainly used the shoulder.
During this gap (!), Chandrasekhar and Qadir took 242 and 239 Test wickets respectively. Which was more than any of their predecessors whom you have named except for Benaud who took 248.there've been precious few right-arm wristspinners who've achieved anything much at the Test level - the SAfrican trio of Schwarz, Vogler and Faulkner were pretty much the first; then there was Grimmett and O'Reilly; then Benaud and Gupte (both of whom's success was relatively short-lived), then a massive gap to Warne and Murali.
Yep this is probably a fair explanation.Not sure what the ratio of right-arm to left-arm bowlers is, but I'm pretty sure it's fairly tall. It's not terribly surprising, with the tiny number of wristspinners who can spin the ball as much as stock-in-trade wristspinners do and still bowl with the requistite control to be something better than a joke, that there hasn't yet been a left-armer among the select few. The day will come eventually I'm sure, but it might not be any time soon.
Yeah, forgot about Abdul Qadir TBH, though he wasn't successful everywhere, only at home.During this gap (!), Chandrasekhar and Qadir took 242 and 239 Test wickets respectively. Which was more than any of their predecessors whom you have named except for Benaud who took 248.
