Yes. So Croft was well known for that delivery. Not sure the initial trajectory was towards the leg side but I understand what you are saying. But only spin, seam or swing could cause that deviation. That's why I asked if by cutters you mean when the bowler imparts spin on the ball. Malcolm Marshall bowled a leg cutter, I think, by using his fingers to impart leg spin. The story goes that he learnt it from Dennis Lillee.
