Well, that's a bit of a stretch. Left handed batters never have trouble getting given out to right handed bowlers LBW. It doesn't have to swing much if delivered close to the stumps.
I'll agree that lefties have always seemed slower than righties. I'll also say that the lefties I faced moved the ball more both ways than the righties, and a good one could be a lot harder to score off. I don;t quite share your discrimiatory attitude towards them.
