Bold textHIPPY SPIN: A Magic Type of Bowling, or just a slider?

Hippy spin is a bowling delivery in cricket, patented by Calum Watson. When bowled, it can do four different things:

Have topsin, backspin, legspin or offpin on it.

Hippy spin has been questioned over its worth and its actual ability to be capable of these 4 types of spin on it.
