Well, I mean that am I an off-spinner, leg-spinner, am I orthodox/unorthodox, am I a chinaman?
I bowl a ball going from the left of the wicket (offstump) to the right (leg stump) so a wrist motion.
I also bowl a backspin ball, a 'wrong un' (a ball going from right to left) and a quicker topspinner. - can you tell me what type of ball is bowled with 1 and 3 alternative balls? (flipper, slider, googly, doosra etc.)
Thanks for your help!

*EDIT*
I'll have to give it to the first answer (smars) because he got 4/5 correct, I know however I cannot bowl a doosra as it is the hardest ball in the world to ball and only approx. 10 people can bowl an effective doosra, after researching further, my 3rd alternative ball is a flipper, thanks for all your answers and especially the compliments - I can't give you best answer but thanks for making me feel good about my cricket - had a match this morning, got 5-30 :D

I remember Shane warne being interviewed many years ago, and he was asked who his main influence was. He replied that his cricket career was in the doldrums until Richie Benaud took him aside and told him to concentrate on one kind of ball.
So if the advice was good enough for Warne, I would listen to the legend that is Benaud.
As to the type of bowler you are, what is your most natural ball is the kind of bowler you will be referred to.
