Swing Bowling

My Personal View is Bowling is more complicated than Batting. This time I have collections of the Swing bowling video from the Internet.

1 This is from Cricket ka tadka

 Some Interesting Points from the Video;

1 For outswing emphasis on Middle finger

2 For Inswing emphasis on 2nd finger.

3 some bowlers can bowl inswing/outswing with upright seam

  some bowlers may need to adjust the seam position to first slip for out swing & fine leg for in            swing. 

2 Below Video is from Geoff Lawson's

Some Interesting Points from above Video:

1 Apart from Seam, emphasis on Posture & Wrist Snap .Make sense, below is the picture from the Video Capture of JD's bowling action.

I do not have Doc's bowling image but his posture is for outswing.

I do believe posture & wrist snap is hard to change so I want our bowlers to try different grip to see if this makes any difference.

Now Below Video is Science & Cricket

Interesting Points from the Video:

1 Science says cloudy weather is not conductive for the swing. Dry air actually is good for the swing.Now this is really interesting because in the cloudy environment we have seen the bowl swings a lot.

2 Wasim talks about the Snap of the Wrist , I wish there is HD video about this.

Apart from the conventional & Reverse Swing, Cutters are coming back to the game thanks to Bangladeshi bowler Mustafizur. Below image for offcutter & leg cutter.
