Leg break the batsman's legs are usually in the path of the ball if it misses the bat or takes an edge. This makes it difficult for the bowler to get the batsman out bowled or caught from a leg break. A ball bowled by a left-arm unorthodox spin bowler with a leg break action spins in the opposite direction, i.e. from left to right as the bowler sees it. Such a ball is not normally called a leg break but a "left-arm unorthodox spinner" or "Chinaman". Leg break A leg break is a type of delivery in the sport of cricket.
Arthropod leg Arthropod leg The arthropod leg is a form of jointed appendage of arthropods, usually used for walking. Many of the terms used for arthropod leg segments (called podomeres) are of Latin origin, and may be confused with terms for bones: "coxa" (meaning hip, plural "coxae"), "trochanter" (compare trochanter), "femur" (plural "femora"), "tibia" (plural "tibiae"), "tarsus" (plural "tarsi"), "ischium" (plural "ischia"), "metatarsus", "carpus", "dactylus" (meaning finger), "patella" (plural "patellae"). Homologies of leg segments between groups are difficult to prove and are the source of much argument. Some authors posit up to eleven segments per leg for the most recent common ancestor
