Best Answer

A flipper is a back-spin ball by a leg-spin bowler in cricket. Supposedly invented by Australian Clarrie Grimmett, when taunted, several years later, by Don Bradman, that Grimmett had forgotten how to bowl a flipper, Grimmett summarily bowled out Bradman in an exhibition match in which the two players were opponents.
