Nope, very wrong, a right arm leg spinner is way way different than the SLA's. the loop, the angle, the variation damn everything is different. just an example, An arm ball from a SLA is very expected and played with much ease than a googly of a leg spinner.

I have played some level of cricket and i can assure you they are way way different .

cheers !
