there both the same just that the white ball can be slightly lighter as it has less seam than a red ball.

Hey, first of all, u are asking about batting and then giving details of swing. Both the terms belongs to to different departments of Game.\n\nBatting is the hitting of ball with the help of bat. The batsman is the person who is batting. He makes runs by hitting the ball......\n\nWhile Swing is a type of Bowling. A ball that curves through the air, as opposed to off the seam. There are three types of Swings:\n1. In Swing: Which tends to move into the Batsman.\n2. Out Swing: Which tends to move away from the Batsman.\n3. Reverse Swing: When the ball is 50 overs old and the pitch is as flat as a pancake, this phenomenon is often a bowling side's saving grace. First mastered by the Pakistani quicks of the 1980s and 1990s, it involves sideways movement of the ball through the air that is contrary to your average everyday laws of physics. It is called as the deadliest weapon of the fast Bowler. WAQAR YOUNIS  of pakistan was the master of this art...

Normal swing occurs mostly when the ball is fairly new. As it wears more, the aerodynamics of the asymmetry change and it is more difficult to extract a large amount of swing.\n\nWhen the ball becomes very old—around 40 or more overs old (although Irfan Pathan,Andrew Flintoff and Simon Jones have produced reverse swing in balls as few as 15 overs old) —it can begin to swing towards the polished side rather than the rough side. This is known as reverse swing. In essence, both sides have turbulent flow, but here the seam causes the airflow to separate earlier on one side. The result is always a swing to the side with the later separation, so the swing is away from the seam.\n\nReverse swing is difficult to achieve consistently, as it relies on uneven wear of the ball, tends to occur mostly in hot, dry weather conditions, and requires bowling at high speed. Normal swing can be achieved at relatively moderate bowling speeds, but only the fastest bowlers can regularly produce reverse swing.\n\nReverse swing tends to be stronger than normal swing, and to occur late in the ball's trajectory. This gives it a very different character to normal swing, and because batsmen experience it less often they generally find it much more difficult to defend against. It is also possible for a ball to swing normally in its early flight, and then to reverse as it approaches the batsman, giving its trajectory an S-shape through the air.\n\nNotable practitioners of reverse swing have mostly been Pakistani fast bowlers. Sarfraz Nawaz and Imran Khan are often credited as the first bowlers to produce reverse swing, and they have been followed by bowlers such as Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis,Irfan Pathan,Aaqib Javed, Shoaib Akhtar,Darren Gough, Andrew Flintoff and Simon Jones.

Apparently Zimbabwe holds this dubious distinction!!\n\n35 (18 overs)  Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka Harare 2004. The beauty is they held the record since 2001 until Canada "snatched" it from them in 2003. And they "snatched" it back from Canada <Rolling-on-the-floor-and-laughing>\n\n.:Fishie:.

Batsman A faces the second last delivery. He hits the ball for a six, which is saved by the fielder in the deep. The fielder is just to lazy to stop the ball by his hand, and stops by his hat. Batsman A has already ran a run, and is on the opposite side. The batsman gets 6 runs, 1 he ran, 5 for penalty! Batsman A completes century. Now Batsman B hits a six on the last ball, thereby making his century and winning the match.\n\nNow I want to ask you-who do you think will get the man of the match?

we have an indoor stadium here in australia. it gets used for one dayers but players complain about the removal of natural conditions used for bowling especially.  the wind, etc is a vital part of cricket.  also, it cannot be used for test matches because you cannot see a red test match ball under lights. its why the one day ball is white. it also costs too much.

Cricket balls are made from a core of cork, which is layered with tightly wound string, and covered by a leather case with a slightly raised sewn seam. The covering is constructed of four pieces of leather shaped similar to the peel of a quartered orange, but one hemisphere is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the other. The "equator" of the ball is stitched with string to form the seam, with a total of six rows of stitches. The remaining two joins between the leather pieces are left unstitched.\n\nFor men's cricket, the ball must weigh between 5.5 and 5.75 ounces (155.9 and 163.0 g) and measure between 8 13/16 and 9 in (224 and 229 mm) in circumference. Balls used in women's and youth matches are slightly smaller.\n\nCricket balls are traditionally dyed red, and red balls are used in Test cricket and First-class cricket. White balls were introduced when one-day matches began being played at night under floodlights, as they are more visible at night. Many one-day matches are now played with white balls. Other colours have occasionally been experimented with, such as yellow and orange for improved night visibility, but the colouring process has so far rendered such balls unsuitable for professional play because they wear differently to standard balls.The white ball has been found to swing a lot more during the first half of the innings than the red ball.It also deteriorates faster than the red ball.

Definitely Fiji... they specialize in 7s and are a sight to watch when playing at full speed.  They are (of course) heading the current 2005/2006 IRB Sevens Tournament as well.  Check out their progress here:\n\nhttp://www.irbsevens.com/
