A cricketing term used to describe a spin bowler attempting to deliver off break or left arm orthodox deliveries.
Due to only managing the slightest of rotations on the ball no more than opening a door in basic day to day life the player therefore is given the title of 'door opener' or is believed to be 'opening doors' each time he delivers the ball. The use of this term is dated back to the early 2000s and was first used by the great Billy Oswell of Brisbane.
