Batting and Bowling with Different Hands

Entertainment Cricket and Other Sports
1

There are many in world cricket that bowl right hand and bat left hand or vice versa. Even in the present Pakistani team we have three such players:

Captain himself Inzi, Rt Hand batsmen, bowls left arm off spin.
I beleive his working hand is left, as he throws with left too.

Imran Farhat: Left Hand batsmen, Rt arm leg break

Samiullah Niazi: Left Hand bowler, Rt hand batsman

Among older players i recall, Ijaz Ahmed was a left hand bowler but Rt hand bat. Curtly ambrose used to bat left hand. Ganguly bats left hand, bowls right had.

I believe they bowl with their natural hand. Inzi from what i know is left handed.. hence bowls left handed.

Someone once mentioned you can generate more power while batting if you learn to bat on your non-natural side. Is that true?

One thing is true for sure, its much easier to bat with other than ur natural hand than to switch hands in any other game. I bat ight handed but many a times switch to left without much problem, expet that i tend to play more cross bat.
