(3/6) Science of Sport - Cricket 

1:44 Conventional Swing 4:15 Reverse Swing

That's why cricket has much more in it than baseball. spin+swing+drift+loop and take into account behavior of the pitch.

They are making it sound like spin is more "mysterious" than swing. The way spin bowling works is the probably the easiest to understand. The ball turns in the direction its spun. It's certainly hard to achieve accuracy and precision, but once delivered there's no mystery to it.

I love cricket

If you play as a opening batsmen that is one of the things you look for. First thing which you look at when a fast bowler is bowling is the release position, you can tell if it is meant to be an outswinger or inswinger. Not necessarily look at the seam. You are supposed to look at the seam when it is released from the hand not when the ball is mid pitch. Same for a spinner, although due to a spinner being slower you can read him while the ball is in the air or even off the pitch

In first case, this guy says bowl swings toward the rough side, but according to Waqar and Wasim bowl swing towards shiny side during reverse swing.

I used a rubber ball to bowl and discovered that in.changed direction into the righty as a yorker is it reverse swing it happened with a roughed up ball

Cricket is all related to science 💙

Kumble was helped by that really dusty pitch, too.

Dear please make correction. Turbulent air flow get separate from surface (ball) earlier laminar air flow.

Best of luck brett lee

About why the ball swings more at some times than other, and marshies comments about a layer of humidity above the pitch: It would not surprise me if this is tide related. High tide draws the water up creating more moisture above the pitch, as well as more life and slickness in the grass.

The art of reverse swing is completely a different science

RIP Terry

if the ball is new and has no rough side?

So conclusion is that a new ball swings towards the rougher side.. and the old ball swings towards the less rougher side... Am i right????? If i am wrong please correct me....

But why do new balls swing with no rough side? And they talk about reverse swing having both rough sides, but in my experience there is still one shiny side that you have been working on and it swings towards that shiny side due to more weight being on that side.

amazing

new balls swing with no rough side because the direction of the seam causes turbulence, causing the rough air to "peal off" one side.

thy said it's cheating now thy say it's ART. 😛😜

@Englishtamilsays I guess they made an attempt to say it is more mysterious to learn

B S Chandrashekhars polio affected hand proved to be a boon. Even the best of batsmen got bamboozled. He was a fast bowler or spin bowler, no one was sure.

13 years ago video

The best players of spin read it when it is released from the hand. If they know what the ball is doing they have more time to play a shot.

i didnt know drogba played cricket

@Englishtamilsays very true but I think that flight-ling the ball is more of a mystery (if at all), in spin bowling I mean

@thatsfantastic09 90mph is understandable but hey 80 - 85 mph is clear to see I don't now why you find it that hard.

* Shane Warne, and Kumble was never a huge spinner of the ball, he used his height well to get bounce, and used other variations.

Imran Khan did not dscover reverse swing, Sarfraz Nawaz did. I refer to Wikipedia article on Sarfraz Nawaz here but for some reason cannot post the link.

look how young murali is there, and to think he retired last week.

He says conventional swing happens when one side is shiny and the other rough. But when the ball is new both sides are shiny. Bowlers swing the ball from ball one. Also the reverse swing explanation sounds contradictory. For conventional swing the thicker layer stayed with the ball for a long time and for reverse swing it did not?! Conventional or reverse, the thicker layer is always on the rough side. Its just thicker than when it was new. Still a mystery to me!

umar gul did reverse swing with new ball ,watch pak vs new zeland T20 wc match

Anyone after 13 years. . IN 2021

Can we swing the bat btw?

I'm seeing this after 10years of publishing

and the Australians tested Mutiah and were silenced lol. No one questions the legend of spin.

I got reverse swing by loading the ruff side off the ball with a lot of sweat. The difference is weight seemed to cause the ball to swing the opposite way to the normal. has anyone else experienced this happening?

@Englishtamilsays haha... that's because the video is made by westerners.. they find spin still a mystery even though they ve had some great spinners like warne and swann

@dgbhai No match to Wasim!!

I can turn bowl 60 to 100 c.m... i know i have talent and ability to perform... But , unfortunately i am so unlucky... There are no coaching and playing facilities in our place,And also my family is very poor... I am learning from commentry and RU-vid video' s ... Do practice it my home and local farm field... Hope someone will find me and give me a last chance ...i am losing my young playing age 😥 #bcci #icc #ipl #mcc #acc #ecb

lol ,"can science explain why the ball spins ?"

Wrong .It was the famous Sarfaraz Nawaz from Pakistan who invented this magical delivery.Needs correction.Imran Khan his successor and junior to him at that time,learnt that art from the master and became a master himself. In 1974, Pakistan toured England after that, the team had a few unofficial friendly matches in the West Indies. By this time, Sarfraz had realised that Imran Khan would be his regular partner in the Pakistan team. It was only then that he shared his knowledge of reverse swing bowling with the great Imran khan.

watson a pace bowler ya muppet

....And i would certainly love to see you spin like Shayne Watson or Anil Kumble :)

13year old🤯🤯, this guy must be a family man now.....

I'm so very proud of Pakistani fast bowlers ... :-)

You can beat batsmen in flight using 'Magnus effect'. Its not so easy dude..

Is there anyone BANGLADESHI cricketer who will make a bowling tips specially fast/pace bowling in BANGLA ? There are a lot ex-player here.Pls come on. young will be benefitted. All the famous player have lesson video except BANGLADESHI. Shame.!!!

he doesnt

LOL I could execute leg spins since I was 12 and my older brother who was mainly a middle order batsman could also leg spin, their is nothing 'mysterious' about it on the other hand swinging a ball is near to impossible the only ones who have mastered it are the Pakistani players and to a faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar lesser extent the English players.

No, he couldn't. He bowled conventional swing with the new ball, and reverse with the old. What he could do is make it reverse in both directions, which is rare.

So its our heartiest application to concern authority.

Harish

Oh and once again, they skip over Abdul Qadir when introducing leg-spin! And over Dennis Lillee, Jeff Thomson and Richard Hadlee when talking about pace bowlers and their actions! Surely there is something to be learned from Lillee and Thomson's bowling actions ... not one size fits all.

i know how it works

Wasn’t it Sarfaraz Nawaz Who shaped the art of reverse swing

now doosra is a mystery spin ball again discovered by Pakistanis

Imran khan

Cricket is such a fked up game, every little factor influences the game it's more or less a game of luck than talent where in you win if the conditions favoured you.

Tum pakistan ka pm hai kya

now in 2020 imran khan change the whole country...wow

Pakistan introduced leg spin when Abdul Qadir was introduced into the team, no other team was playing leg spin like Pakistan, at one time Pakistan would play two leg spinners. Warne is a legend in his own right but Qadir changed everything. FUCK, even Warne learned from Qadir. True Story.

Every team does it, just the Aussies got caught.
