Swinging of cricket ball has so many reasons and weather plays a very big roll.\nFirst is how efficiently the ball can be held by the bowler.\nsecond is what is direction of wind flowing at the time of bowling. as the wind direction changes every hour approximately and the wind direction at 9 am will be different as compared to direction at 10 am.\nand so on.\nIt the Bowler who takes advantages of the weather is always a successful.

This term comes from the game of cricket - played on a pitch called a 'wicket'.\n\nWhen the wicket becomes 'sticky' the bowler gets the ball to move much more making it very difficult for the batsmen to score runs and not get 'out'.\n\nSo, if you are on a sticky wicket you are considered to be in a very difficult position in order to achieve your objective.

The groundsmen have been spraying the pitch with water just before matches start. This makes passing a lot quicker and sharper over the ground. However, it also makes the pitch more slippery, which means people slip over more.

It is of course casual warter, you may take your ball out and drop away from the water but no closer to the hole with no penalty.\n\nCasual water is any water not normally present on the course, this mostly occurs after a heavy rainfall.\n\nYou also may elect to play the ball as it lies, you choice.\n\nLeon

SCRATCHING IS OFFENSE.IF IT ALLOWED, THEN THERE WILL BE NO SPHERICAL SHAPED BALL THERE.IT WILL DANCE THE TUNES OF BOWLERS.\n\nRUBBING IS PERMISSIBLE.BY RUBBING BALL, BOWLERS MAKE THE ONE SURFACE SMOOTH.OTHER SIDE KEPT IN NORMAL.MIND YOU THEY ALL RUB ONE SIDE ONLY.\n\nSO THE NORMAL SIDE GETS FRICTION IN AIR WHILE BOWLED.\nOTHER SIDE SKIDS IN AIR AND GETS NATURAL SWING.\n\nTHE SWING WILL DISTURB BATSMEN.\n\nSO THEY RUB IT.\n\nIF PERMITTED, THEY ARE READY TO BITE THE BALL ;-)

The main reason is the Pitches in Sub-continent is slow and batsmen can go for big shots easily because of that. So, bowling department get more relaxed and don't bother about how the score or what will be the score. Then there is tremendous ground support as well. When you have played a lot of cricket in sub-continent pitches and then you go to play in conditions like west indies or australia, the batsmen will automatically go for defensive shots and do a lot of mistakes, because the ball comes very quick with lot of movements. Indian bowlers are doing a pretty good job now, but they or not getting good support from the batting side while playing abroad. \n\nIndia have to produce more pacy pitches, that will help definitely for Indian batsmen as well as the bowlers.

for many reasons, it is india....\n1. pitches will suit india.\n2. climate is reallty hot in westindies\n3. mc grath and other australians are already old.\n4. indian batsman need not worry about swing\n5. since the pitch is going to keep low, many countries will use more than one spinner, which india can take advantge of as indians play spin better.\n6. englishmen will suffer from cramps like strauss due to heat

With a turbulent boundary layer on both sides of the ball, the effect of the seam is reversed. It now acts as a ramp, pushing the turbulent air away from the ball and causing the boundary layer to peel away sooner. That makes the pressure on that side higher, forcing the ball to swing towards the batsman.\n\n To get reverse swing with a new ball, smooth on both sides, experiments show that the bowler has to reach 80-90 miles per hour to get appreciable movement. This kind of speed has only ever been achieved consistently by a few bowlers. A scuffed ball however can generate substantial reverse swing at speeds well within the capabilities of any medium-paced bowler.\n\nThe ideal ball for reverse swing has one side rough, the other smooth, with a prominent seam in between. The seam should be angled at about 15 degrees to the direction of flight, pointing away from the desired direction of movement. The ball can then be swung both into and away from the batsman depending solely on which side of the ball is delivered at the front - generating either normal or reverse swing. Because the bowler does not need to change either his grip or his action, the batsman will have no clue which way the ball is likely to move.\n\nFor reverse swing the amount of sideways movement is related to the speed of delivery, making this a particularly effective delivery for fast bowlers.

To swing the ball, one side of the ball should be made shinier, by rubbing on a smooth surface, ie your thigh, and the other side left dull. The ball should be gripped either side of the seem with the middle and index fingers. If the ball is bowled down straight along the seem then the diffence in friction on the dull and shiny sides should make the ball swing toward the dull side.\nOff spin is performed by gripping the ball with fingers along the seem and the thumb in opposition. The ball should be given a higher, slower trajectory and on release the hand turned as if opening/closing a jar. The more twist/whip applied the more the ball will turn on impact with the pitch. The ball should spin toward the arm used to ball.\nLeg spin produces a greater degree of spin, but is more difficult to maintain accuracy. The ball should be gripped in the fleshy part of the palm, opposite side to the thumb. As the arm comes over, the ball should be released from the back of the hand, so that it passes over the hand in transit. Again the more twist/whip the greater amount of spin produced. The ball should turn away from the direction of the arm used to bowl.

Batting and bowling pitches are slightly different. If the pitch is hard and bouncy  with green top will help bowling to some extent and then for batting.If the pitch has cracks with uneven bounce it is difficult to play on this pitch and helps the bowlers, particularly spinners.

alright ur stance nothing matters stand however u want but before the pitch comes get into a hitting position so you are ready for a fast ball and so you can keep your hands back on a off speed pitch o ya and ur grib should be loose and ur knuckles should be lined up

play cricket and u would know it

Pitches r different due to different environmental conditions, atmosphere taking into account the humidity level,amount of rain.\nAnd moreover,it also depends on the amount of work done on it like rolling again and again!

once the bat makes contact with the ball...don't stop your swing...follow all the way through and swing with your hips as well.......try standing with a feet about shoulders with apart...\nplay with that till it feels right...but most importantly..don't stop your swing..follow all the way through.

Cricket-a game unfamiliar to many Americans, is a summer sport popular in Australaia, the Indian Subcontinent, Southern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the West Indies and Britain. It is a game which requires precision in timing, skill, discipline and patience. Though cricket isn't always a spectacular showpiece, basic knowledge of the game will make it more enjoyable. \n     Cricket is played with two teams of eleven, each with two umpires (referees) on an oval field. The size of the field varies, but generally has a diameter of around 200 metres. A cricket bat is oblong shaped with a skinny handle. The bat in length is around 90 centimetres, or up to your waistline. A cricket ball is made of cork and coated with leather, and is then stitched up. A ball weighs around 10 ounces. \n     In the middle of the field is what is known as a pitch. A pitch is a hard, flat strip of dry ground around 18 metres long. Two batsman are at the pitch at a time, both at different ends, with one facing the delivery of the ball from the bowler. The bowler runs up to the pitch where he bowls the ball overarm but releases the ball before he reaches the crease, which is a white line painted on the pitch. If the bowler oversteps the line, there is a one run penalty. \n     Teams score by getting runs. A run is completed when a batsman hits the ball and then runs to the other end of the cricket pitch, getting past the crease. The non striking batsman has to run to the opposite end as well. The batsman can run as many times as they like, but the batsmen can get out if their stumps are hit with the ball by a fielder before the batsman reaches the crease. The stumps are three sticks of equal size measuring around 90 centimetres tall with 5 centimetres separating them. Bails (small pieces of wood) are balanced on top of the stumps. \n     Other ways runs can be scored are by hitting boundaries. Boundaries are scored when the ball is hit and touches or goes past the outer edge of the field. Four runs are scored when the batsmen hits the ball and the ball hits the ground before reaching the outer edge of the boundary, and six runs are scored when the ball is hit and goes over the boundary without touching the ground. Runs can also be scored in the following ways: No balls, when the bowler oversteps the crease, bowls in a dangerous manner or incorrectly, or if the ball rises above the batsmans head. A no ball is worth one run. A wide is scored when the ball goes outside the line of the pitch before coming in line with the batsman. This is also worth one run. A leg bye is scored when the ball hits the batsman but doesnt contact his bat and then proceeds to run. A bye is scored when the batsman runs without the ball coming into into contact with the batsman or his bat, and then runs. \n     The fielding team can get the batsman out in several ways, by 1) catching him out. This is done when the batsman hits the ball with his bat and a fielder catches the ball on the full. By 2) bowling him out. This happens when the bowler bowls the ball and the ball strikes the batsmans stumps or bails. By 3) leg before wicket, or LBW. This happens when the bowler bowls it and the stumps being hit by the ball are prevented when the batsmans leg gets in the way. By 4) stumped, when the batsman comes forward to hit the hit but steps out of his crease, misses the ball and the fielder behind the stumps collects the ball hits the stumps before the batsman gets back behind his crease. By 5) run out, when the batsman attempts to score a run but has his stumps hit by the ball before he reaches the other crease. By 6) Hit wicket, when the batsman hits his own stumps while trying to hit the ball.By 7) retired, when the batsman voluntarily decides to finish his innings, and 8)timed out, when the next batsman doesnt appear on the pitch within two minutes of the last batsman getting out. \n     Each team has one inning of 50 overs. An over is a series of 6 bowls by a bowler. Each bowle
