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.

Just think of it like baseball. Its the same thing, except you dont swing at the ball with the bat, but instead kick it with you leg. The positions in the outfield are self explanatory(right, center, and left field) and if you catch it out there, they are out. If it rolls to you, just throw it back into play. Have fun!

Sorry for the long answer but these are the entire rules according to the official MCC laws of cricket.  They are quite detailed.\n\n\nLBW\nLaw 36 (Leg before wicket)\n\n1. Out LBW\nThe striker is out LBW in the circumstances set out below.\n(a)The bowler delivers a ball, not being a No ball\n\nand (b) the ball, if it is not intercepted full pitch, pitches in line between wicket and wicket or on the off side of the striker's wicket\n\nand (c) the ball not having previously touched his bat, the striker intercepts the ball, either full pitch or after pitching, with any part of his person\n\nand (d) the point of impact, even if above the level of the bails\neither (i) is between wicket and wicket\nor (ii) is either between wicket and wicket or outside the line of the off stump, if the striker has made no genuine attempt to play the ball with his bat\n\nand (e) but for the interception, the ball would have hit the wicket.\n\n2. Interception of the ball\n(a) In assessing points (c), (d) and (e) in 1 above, only the first interception is to be considered.\n\n(b) In assessing point (e) in 1 above, it is to be assumed that the path of the ball before interception would have continued after interception, irrespective of whether the ball might have pitched subsequently or not.\n\n3. Off side of wicket\nThe off side of the striker's wicket shall be determined by the striker's stance at the moment the ball comes into play for that delivery.\n\n\nNO BALL\nLaw 24 (No ball)\n1. Mode of delivery\n(a) The umpire shall ascertain whether the bowler intends to bowl right handed or left handed, over or round the wicket, and shall so inform the striker.\nIt is unfair if the bowler fails to notify the umpire of a change in his mode of delivery. In this case the umpire shall call and signal No ball.\n\n(b) Underarm bowling shall not be permitted except by special agreement before the match.\n\n2. Fair delivery - the arm\nFor a delivery to be fair in respect of the arm the ball must not be thrown. See 3 below.\nAlthough it is the primary responsibility of the striker's end umpire to ensure the fairness of a delivery in this respect, there is nothing in this Law to debar the bowler's end umpire from calling and signalling No ball if he considers that the ball has been thrown.\n(a) If, in the opinion of either umpire, the ball has been thrown, he shall\n(i) call and signal No ball.\n(ii) caution the bowler, when the ball is dead. This caution shall apply throughout the innings.\n(iii) inform the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket, the captain of the fielding side and, as soon as practicable, the captain of the batting side of what has occurred.\n\n(b) If either umpire considers that after such caution a further delivery by the same bowler in that innings is thrown, the umpire concerned shall repeat the procedure set out in (a) above, indicating to the bowler that this is a final warning. This warning shall also apply throughout the innings.\n\n(c) If either umpire considers that a further delivery by the same bowler in that innings is thrown,\n(i) the umpire concerned shall call and signal No ball. When the ball is dead he shall inform the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and, as soon as practicable, the captain of the batting side of what has occurred.\n(ii) the umpire at the bowler's end shall direct the captain of the fielding side to take the bowler off forthwith. The over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over nor be allowed to bowl the next over. \nThe bowler thus taken off shall not bowl again in that innings.\n(iii) the umpires together shall report the occurrence as soon as possible to the Executive of the fielding side and any Governing Body responsible for the match, who shall take such action as is considered appropriate against the captain and bowler concerned.\n\n3. Definition of fair delivery - the arm\nA ball is fairly delivered in respect of the arm if, o

Reverse swing is an art invented by former Pakistani fast bowler Sarfaraz Nawaz, followed by Imran Khan, Waseem Akram and Waqar Younis.\n\nA new cricket ball has shine on both sides. When the ball gets older the shine disappears and the amount of swing is decreased. In reverse swing the bowler keeps one side of the ball shining and one rough.\nDue to air friction the rough side resists the air and the ball moves towards the shining side having less friction on that side.\nSo it will allways move towards the direction of the shine.\nWaqar younis had the habbit of hiding the ball from batsman before its delivery. So that the batsman keeps guessing the direction of the swing.

Make sure your feet are pointing in the right direction first of all... keep your shoulders pointing towards where you want to serve it.  Then you have to make sure your serving grip is right, otherwise you will just push the ball over.  Once you figure that out, count off two slow counts (1....2....)and at 2 you should be at the top of your swing going on your way down behind your head.  On 3 you should have already started to swing up from behind your head.  Pronate your wrist at the top of your swing, and follow through over the front of your body.  Also a lot of practice on the ball toss is always usefull.  You can figure out different types of spins and change the speed depending a lot on the toss, and how you follow through.

its the doosra bowled by Harbhajan Singh (India) and Murlitharan (SRL) it actually goes the other way for a off break bowler which means an off spinner bowling a leg spin ball to confuse the batsman

1.     Grip the baseball by clenching the top of the ball with the tips of your index, middle and ring fingers just below the seams. Dig the tips of your fingers deep into the ball.\n \n2.  Place your thumb below the ball to give it support. Keep your pinkie off to the side.\n \n3.  Go into your windup. Remember to pivot and shift your body weight from the back foot forward toward home plate.\n \n4.  Throw the ball toward home, but don't snap your wrist - keep it stable, eliminating as much spin as possible.\n \n5.  Follow through. Extend all fingers toward home plate as you release the pitch. Your feet should be parallel at the end of the pitch, and your throwing arm should come across the front of your body.\n \n \nTips:\nAn effective knuckleball moves in two or three different directions in flight.\n \nTry a variation on the knuckleball grip by using just the index and middle fingers on the top of the ball. The ring finger joins the pinkie off to the side.\n \nThe slower the pitch, the more time the ball has to weave toward home plate.

When you've got this pitch under control, hitters have no idea when to swing. When it's out of control, though, even the pitcher doesn't know where the ball is going! \n\n1.   Grip the baseball by clenching the top of the ball with the tips of your index, middle and ring fingers just below the seams. Dig the tips of your fingers deep into the ball.  \n  \n2.   Place your thumb below the ball to give it support. Keep your pinkie off to the side.  \n  \n3.   Go into your windup. Remember to pivot and shift your body weight from the back foot forward toward home plate.  \n  \n4.   Throw the ball toward home, but don't snap your wrist - keep it stable, eliminating as much spin as possible.  \n  \n5.   Follow through. Extend all fingers toward home plate as you release the pitch. Your feet should be parallel at the end of the pitch, and your throwing arm should come across the front of your body.  \n\n An effective knuckleball moves in two or three different directions in flight.  \n  \n Try a variation on the knuckleball grip by using just the index and middle fingers on the top of the ball. The ring finger joins the pinkie off to the side.  \n  \n The slower the pitch, the more time the ball has to weave toward home plate.  \n\nI've found that if you put all four of you fingers, index through pinky, and put them right below the seam of the ball, you can throw an effective knuckleball. The release of the ball requires that you do not flick your wrist when your release. Come across your body letting your fingers extend toward the plate when you release.

As I stated last time this question was asked on this site:\n3rd last ball, batsman on strike hits a 4.\n2nd last ball, batsman on strike hits to the outfield, they run three however one batsman fails to ground his bat over the crease on the first or second run and the umpire calls it short and gives just 2 runs.  The non striker now has the strike.\nLast ball, batsman hits it for 6.  \n\nBoth batsman on 100.

first recognize that its a curve by its spin. (It should be spinning on a sort of axis around the top area of the baseball.) Then just wait on it and swing. Be careful if it starts outside because if its any good it will curve out of your reach,also watch for the inside curve because it will break in for a strike. (This is for a righty pitching to a righty)

In terms of cricket as opposed to cards:\n\nDuck - out for 0\nGolden Duck - out for 0 first ball\nPair - out for 0 in both innings\nKing Pair - out for a golden duck both innings.\n\nSomeone will have to sign off on that last one, but that's what I understand. Somewhat rare occurance.
