A list of puns related to "Right Hander"
Barring Lara, and to a lesser extent Sangakkara, why does the game not have lefties at the absolute peak of batsmanship?
Even now - Smith, Root, Williamson, Kohli, Babar... All right handed batsmen.
What gives?
So for the past two years, I have always hit this with the following grip:
Right hand: continental (bevel 2 going clockwise) Left hand: semi-western (bevel 4 going counter clock wise)
This always felt the most natural to me but Iβve been reading some articles where for the left hand, people will use an eastern grip (bevel 3 going counter clockwise).
Curious to hear everyones experience
I was working on bayesian models to predict and understand corner shooting. For each player, I was estimating their ability to shoot in each corner.
Most players shoot similarly in both corners:

Some players shoot better in the left corner:

And some players shoot better from the right corner:

I was trying to understand if player handedness could account for this difference, so I looked at the left and right handers predicted corner 3 shooting in each corner. Both left and right handers slightly prefer the left corner (much less than 1 percentage point improvement in the left corner, and the variance is huge. These are estimates for the average percentage, so individual players can be much higher or lower):

What was interesting though was in either corner right handers do better than left handers on average:

There's so few left handers so the uncertainty is pretty large. Is it just the current pool of left handers is worse than right handers? I would be curious if you had any other explanations.
