Ellis "Puss" Achong a.k.a Chinaman (Left arm unorthodox spinner)
1. Walter Robins
2. Paul Adams
3. Chinamans hat island, Hawaii
The term is believed to relate to former West Indian spin bowler Ellis "Puss" Achong. In the 1933 Old Trafford Test match, Achong, a left-arm orthodox spinner and the first Test cricketer of Chinese ancestry, bowled an unexpected wrist-spin delivery turning from off to leg, and had the English batsman Walter Robins stumped by Ivan Barrow as a result. Legend has it that Robins, as he walked back to the pavilion, remarked "Fancy being done by a bloody Chinaman"
Paul Adams is the most famous fairly contemporary exponent of the chinaman
the third is self explanatory
Cracked by Arun, Sumeet, Chappli, Ramkumar, Vishal, Peregrine and a couple of anons.
