Explanation

A 'Chinaman' is a specific type of delivery in cricket bowled by a left-arm wrist-spinner, which turns the ball from off to leg (into a right-handed batsman). The term originated from Ellis Achong, a left-arm wrist-spinner of Chinese descent who played for the West Indies, making this cricket terminology unique to the sport.
