a person who spins (...in fact dances) around the batsman, while the bowler is about to bowl. This distracts the batsman....and hence he is called a spinner. 😀
Edit: the south africans do not have decent dancers....hence india wins.

For a good slow left hand example, try Ashley Giles bowling Brian Lara 2004 (Giles' 100th wicket) or Damien Martyn this summer.
