"Chinaman" is associated with which game ?

  • A.Gymnastics
  • B.Cricket
  • C.Volleyball
  • D.Handball

Answer: B

The term Chinaman belongs to cricket.

In cricket, a 'Chinaman' is the stock delivery of a left-arm wrist spinner: it turns from off to leg for a right-handed batsman, the mirror image of a right-arm leg-break. The term is traditionally traced to Ellis 'Puss' Achong, a West Indies spinner of Chinese descent, in the 1930s; today it is often replaced by 'left-arm unorthodox spin'.

Gymnastics, volleyball and handball have no such term, so the word points only to cricket.
