swing bowling techniques

The basics of swing A cricket ball swings because it has a seam. The air moving over the ball as you bowl it causes it to drift to the side. Very small adjustments in the position of the seam can lead to large movements. The outswinger moves from leg to off side, the inswinger moves from off to leg. The longer the ball is in the air, the more is swings. That means anyone can swing the ball no matter what their pace. In fact, the faster the bowler the less it swings. To control which way the ball swings you start by adjusting the basic grip. Basic grip. Here the seam is straight, pointing at the stumps when you deliver it. Outswing grip. The seam has been turned towards slip (for a right handed batter). The wrist stays firm throughout. Inswing grip. The seam is now turned towards fine leg (again for a right handed batter). The wrist is slightly less firm.  for much information visit these links en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_bowling news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa/cricket/.../3231567.stm -
