NO. An offie is someone that turns the ball from the off stump to the leg ie thats where the name comes from. Hence the term SLA or left arm orthadox. They may bowl in the same style as a right armed offie but they turn the ball from the leg and cannot be classed as an offie and therefore have their own terms.

Very different.

Who's off stump?

I think Valentine and Ramadhin are slightly overrated by people but I'll go for Valentine all the same.

Saqlain.

Ironmonger has a pretty remarkable record when you consider the period. His average would be unremarkable for an English player a few decades years earlier, but for an Australian playing in the 20s and 30s his average in test cricket is phenomenal, and his FC record is pretty good too. He inflated it hugely against South Africa though, and didn't really play enough tests.

Saqlain. If only for his ODI record.

Yeah, those are the only two reasons I opted for Saqlain here.
Ironmonger is one of the greatest Aussie spinners of all-time AFAIK, but his record against England leaves a lot to be desired.

Ironmonger is all class, but it has to be Saqlain.
