I would certainly count myself in the former category, though my chances of producing one have long gone. I used to be able to produce a conventional leg-break with moderate consistency (as a change from the usual medium-paced invitation to cover-drive that my bowling amounted to) but a googly was well beyond my powers.

Any good spinner is a joy to watch/ Bishan Bedi was my bowling hero growing up, even though he was a left-arm orthodox.

That would be English and... would it not? Possibly even Londoners and... (though that would include those from south of the river, none of them are quite one of us).

Yes, though the premise implies the answer to the question. If going is twice as much trouble as staying then logically you should stay, therefore I shall adjust the stated dichotomy to:

There are people that should stay and there are idiots.
