Lefities domination on the rise

[Ram]

Off late , Left-handers seem to have an increasing impact on the game of cricket, both in batting and bowling. Cricinfo has run an interesting article on this http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/columns/content/current/story/307207.html Wonder if there is any specific reason for this. I take special joy when a left-hander does well because I am leftie myself.

As the saying goes: Left is Right! :cantstop:

India seem to produce bulk of the left arm bowlers. We have seen Zaheer, Nehra, Pathan and RP Singh since the last few years. I'm quite sure no other country has had so many left arm pacemen over the years. India also looked to produce few left hand batsmen too but not everyone is currently in the team. India has seen Yuvraj, Raina and Gambhir in the batting department. Imagine a team with Zaheer, Nehra, Patha, Yuvraj, Raina, Gambhir and RP Singh. That's 7 left hand players in the ranks.

Sure thing but I was mentioning the left handers that were produced in the recent years. Yes with Ganguly also in the ranks that'll make 8 left handers. I'm sure India can put together an exclusive left handers international XI if couple other players are included. BTW Chawla is a leftie too, he can make the list as well.

if leftie means left handed batsman, sure do that. but dada is actually a righthanded person in everything else.

I guess the the post or atleast the cricinfo article is more about left handed bowlers and pcers at that. Akram and Vaas are the best amongst the lat with Zak at number 4; its strange that we have witnessed so few left handed bowlers as compared to batsmen; wonder if their is any specific reason behind this?

I find this otherwise right handed but doing main job of ur career with left-handed quite an intriguing concept, wonder how these folks get intoduced to left hand concept.

Tendulkar is left handed in everything except cricket, so is Rohit Sharma.

My sister is a leftie.This might sound weird but i like to sit and watch her write it is interesting how left handed ppl write she like to curl her hand and write.Do agree tho, many players on the indian side are lefthanded and really talented

[chanakya]

didn't ganguly bat right handed initially but took to left handed so that he could use his elder brother's stuff ?
