This episode we talk about why Indians don’t bat left-handed. And so why not get on someone who has just written a book on this, with that as his very title. Nathan Leamon and Ben Jones have written a book called Hitting Against the Spin, and it’s basically the book you need to understand how cricket is currently played. But I got Nathan on to talk about the history of left-handers, anticipation skills, why off spinners are good, LBWs, umpires, outswing, and why left-handers were better against seam than spin.
