In reply to Howe. We thought it a lot and we linked to a piece in which the term is used. We can't put everything front and centre.

I was expecting the phrase ‘doing arm’ through the entire post and it somehow never materialised

In reply to The Smudge. Who knows? That seems to be the theme of the piece.

Was disappointed to discover Paul Adams batted left-handed 🙁

One of the many joys of cricket is that one can be left handed but right armed.

Does David Gower’s alleged ambidextrousness qualify him for the team, or double disqualify him?

In reply to Aditya. The Twitter debate stemming from this really covered some ground. Inspin and outspin, legswing and offswing, goofy and regular batting stances, the nonsense that is left- and right-field in baseball and of course stage left and stage right in theatre ('backward square stage' was proposed as a term that needed to be brought into the world).

In reply to Ged Ladd. No, we assumed he was either, as conditions dictated.

In reply to King Cricket. 'Both' is definitely a credible answer to that question.
