Both over and round have their merits.

Over - Can be seen as a more wicket taking option, esp if the ball is swinging. can beat both edges and keeps LBW in play. 

Round - is more of a defensive option and bowling the correct line with the field set it can be difficult to get away as everything moving in towards a RH batter therefore cramping them up.

So personally it's on the role required and the batters being bowled too.

I personally think your benders work better over the wicket Brucey.

Personally love left arm over . Play full balls , always play for inswing , can bring bat inside line of ball if not bending back . Maybe because i bat with an open stance anyway . The worst for me would be left arm around , bowling big outswingers . That's horrible to face .

Not many left arm clubbies that i've faced can bowl big outswingers from around the wicket

Ive bowled slow Left arm round seamers, opening the bowling for 30 years.. key is to bowl a tight line but I get very late indrift. 14% of all my wickets have been LBW and would have been higher but for the frequent umpire comment.. " You'll never get LBWs bowling Left Arm round..." Even took to printing of play cricket stats to prove them wrong :-)

Poor umpiring @jamferg  Bowling left arm round induckers there's no way you'd be hitting the stumps if the hit the front pad in front. Would have to pitch and turn like a leg break to be hitting the stumps!

I am left handed in our league  when bowlers come around the wicket every time the ball hits the pads they go off like a bottle of fizzy pop no wonder the umpires ignore there appeals.

Sorry I miss read the initial post. For some reason I read left arm round inswingers, not seamers.

Right then - who wants a net? There's a new kind of bender in town!

I'd love to get my wood out for your benders....
