As a cricket coach, I'd be more than happy for MCC to ban all left-handed batting and bowling for cricket.


Unless Leach get Steve [the freak] Smith out then it would be okay [but spinners only] no seamers thanks ...

Another leftie here!

I write, use a computer mouse & tenpin bowl left-handed, but do most other things right-handed (play golf, throw darts, use scissors etc).

My Mum is left-handed too and I remember early days of infant school where my teacher used to make me use my right hand to write, but I always objected. Eventually, she gave up - I think my Mum may have had a 'quiet' word.

And yet the Burnley Lara is the opposite! [emoji23]

Which makes sense really, right handers should bat left handed ! Never understood why they let their duff hand do all the controlling work on the bat.

I love to watch left handed people writing. It looks actually awkward and painful but I think for the most part their handwriting usually looks neat and tidy.

I also think it looks weird when I see someone riding one of those pedal scooters if they put their right foot on the bar and push with their left leg.

Mine doesn't, mine looks like i'm having a seizure whilst sitting on a washing machine.

As a Left handed chap I remember clearly having a catholic brother at my De la Salle (Jesuit) school literally tie my left wrist to my belt to “encourage” me to use my right hand to write with as left handedness was the work of Satan or some shit.

No wonder I’m now not only Left handed but also an Atheist. Nice work Father Hale.

:bowdown: Lefties are the finest of all society, that's just how it is.

Although I'm one of the bad ones, I write left handed, play pool and snooker left handed as well. But tennis and darts are right handed. ??? I can't throw left handed either, it feels totally wrong. I'm also natural kicking a football (badly and inaccurately) with both feet. Ambidextrous and ambipedal!

Likewise :moo:

Me too. A definite advantage batting right-handed with my strongest left eye down the line of the ball.

Same here, although crap at cricket, left handed, left footed, play guitar right handed, drum left handed, pool left, rackets left, bat right. Write left, smudged my drawings and cuffs as a draughtsman, eat right handed.
