I've been having a chat with David_itl on the Profiles page following his telling us that yesterday was International Lefthanders Day.
For no other reason than idle curiosity we wondered how many left handers are numbered amongst our members.
I'm naturally right-handed although I do have some ambidexterity. That said, I'm one of a substantial number of people who play cricket (and hockey and golf, although I've never played those two games and my cricket playing is long gone too) as a left hander, meaning the left hand is the bottom hand on the cricket bat handle and the right shoulder faces the bowler.
I played a bit of table tennis, although never seriously, and when playing social games I would sometimes switch the bat from right to left hand to return the ball as a left-hand forehand rather than a right-hand backhand. It's probably illegal but would confuse the unsuspecting opponent when first attempted.
