That’s shite that this was moved the the backroom

My name is not sarge; my posts carry value

This was about cricket and lefthanders
But the mod that moves it is probably unaware

I hope you do the right thing

What do you think, cricketing wise

Should a left hander be called a south paw?

Should a right handed bowler who bats left handed be called a south paw?

Leave that chupidnesness for verbose Badders

Finally, an explanation

Thanks

Good question

Generally speaking, Americans refer to boxers who jab with the right and punch with left, as southpaw

Americans have extended the term to anyone doing things left handed

I have never heard it used to describe a left handed batsman but there is always this slow creep of American vernacular into our speech

Thank you

Again, TRUE left handers vs folks like Ambi, Shiv, Nicky, Lara, Gayle.

It’s clumsy and unimpressive.

to some extent i agree

what about Tendulkar, Kane Williamson and Darren Cough?

they bat and bowl right handed but write left handed

Such as clowns that use the baseball or cake making term "batter" when they refer to a BATSMAN
