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.
Leg raise Leg raise The leg raise is a strength training exercise which targets the iliopsoas (the anterior hip flexors). Because the abdominal muscles are used isometrically to stabilize the body during the motion, leg raises are also often used to strengthen the rectus abdominis muscle and the internal and external oblique muscles. The lying leg raise is done by lying on the floor on the back. It is done without apparatus except possibly cushions or weights for added resistance. Practitioners generally caution to keep the lower back in contact with the floor and place hands to sides or under lower back
