The Swing of a Cricket Ball
SCIENCE BEHIND REVERSE SWING C.P.VINOD CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory Pune BACKGROUND INFORMATION • Swing bowling is a skill in cricket that bowlers use to get a batsmen out. • It involves bowling a ball in such a way that it curves or ‘swings’ in the air. • The process that causes this ball to swing can be explained through aerodynamics. Dynamics is the study of the cause of the motion and changes in motion Aerodynamics is a branch of Dynamics which studies the motion of air particularly when it interacts with a moving object There are basically four factors that govern swing of the cricket ball: Seam Asymmetry in ball due to uneven tear Speed Bowling Action Seam of cricket ball Asymmetry in ball due to uneven tear Cricket ball is 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 Dimensions- Weight: 155.9 and 163.0 g 224 and 229 mm in circumference Speed Fast bowler between 130 to 160 KPH THE BOUNDARY LAYER • When a sphere travels through air, the air will be forced to negotiate a path around the ball • The Boundary Layer is defined as the small layer of air that is in contact with the surface of a projectile as it moves through the air • Initially the air that hits the front of the ball will stick to the ball and accelerate in order to obtain the balls velocity. • In doing so it applies pressure (Force) in the opposite direction to the balls velocity by NIII Law, this is known as a Drag Force.

A Multidisciplinary Examination of Fast Bowling Talent Development in Cricket
A MULTIDISCIPLINARY EXAMINATION OF FAST BOWLING TALENT DEVELOPMENT IN CRICKET Elissa Jane Phillips BPhEd & MSc (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Human Movement Studies Faculty of Health Queensland University of Technology 2011 ii Keywords Biomechanics, cricket, dynamical systems theory, degeneracy, expertise, fast bowling, skill acquisition, metastability, multidisciplinary, talent development, variability. iii iv Abstract Research on expertise, talent identification and development has tended to be mono-disciplinary, typically adopting geno-centric or environmentalist positions, with an overriding focus on operational issues. In this thesis, the validity of dualist positions on sport expertise is evaluated. It is argued that, to advance understanding of expertise and talent development, a shift towards a multidisciplinary and integrative science focus is necessary, along with the development of a comprehensive multidisciplinary theoretical rationale. Dynamical systems theory is utilised as a multidisciplinary theoretical rationale for the succession of studies, capturing how multiple interacting constraints can shape the development of expert performers. Phase I of the research examines experiential knowledge of coaches and players on the development of fast bowling talent utilising qualitative research methodology. It provides insights into the developmental histories of expert fast bowlers, as well as coaching philosophies on the constraints of fast bowling expertise. Results suggest talent development programmes should eschew the notion of common optimal performance models and emphasize the individual nature of pathways to expertise. Coaching and talent development programmes should identify the range of interacting constraints that impinge on the performance potential of individual athletes, rather than evaluating current performance on physical tests referenced to group norms.

Quantifying Cricket Fast-Bowling Skill
International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2018, 13, 830-838 https://doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2017-0169 © 2018 Human Kinetics, Inc. BRIEF REVIEW Quantifying Cricket Fast-Bowling Skill Simon A. Feros, Warren B. Young, and Brendan J. O’Brien Objectives: To evaluate the current evidence regarding the quantification of cricket fast-bowling skill. Methods: Studies that assessed fast-bowling skill (bowling speed and accuracy) were identified from searches in SPORTDiscus (EBSCO) in June 2017. The reference lists of identified papers were also examined for relevant investigations. Results: A total of 16 papers matched the inclusion criteria, and discrepancies in assessment procedures were evident. Differences in test environment, pitch, and cricket ball characteristics; the warm-up prior to test; test familiarization procedures; permitted run-up lengths; bowling spell length; delivery sequence; test instructions; collection of bowling speed data; and collection and reportage of bowling accuracy data were apparent throughout the literature. The reliability and sensitivity of fast-bowling skill measures have rarely been reported across the literature. Only 1 study has attempted to assess the construct validity of its skill measures. Conclusions: There are several discrepancies in how fast-bowling skill has been assessed and subsequently quantified in the literature to date. This is a problem, because comparisons between studies are often difficult. Therefore, a strong rationale exists for the creation of match-specific standardized fast-bowling assessments that offer greater ecological validity while maintaining acceptable reliability and sensitivity of the skill measures. If prospective research can act on the proposed recommendations from this review, then coaches will be able to make more informed decisions surrounding player selection, talent identification, return to skill following injury, and the efficacy of short- and long-term training interventions for fast bowlers.

Cricket Ball Aerodynamics: Myth Versus Science
i¸ ._ _' -_ .¢, Cricket Ball Aerodynamics: Myth Versus Science Rabindra D. Mehta Experimental Physics Branch, NASA Ames Research Center, California, USA ABSTRACT: Aerodynamics plays a prominent role in the flight of a cricket ball released by a bowler. The main interest is in the fact that the ball can follow a curved flight path that is not always under the control of the bowler. The basic aerodynamic principles responsible for the nonlinear flight or "swing" of a cricket ball were identified several years ago and many papers have been published on the subject. In the last 20 years or so, several experimental investigations have been conducted on cricket ball swing, which revealed the amount of attainable swing, and the parameters that affect it. A general overview of these findings is presented with emphasis on the concept of late swing and the effects of meteorological conditions on swing. In addition, the relatively new concept of "reverse" swing, how it can be achieved in practice and the role in it of bali "tampering", are discussed in detail. A discussion of the "white" cricket ball used in last year's World Cup, which supposedly possesses different swing properties compared to a conventional red ball, is also presented. _TRODUCTION The origins of cricket are obscured and a source of much speculation, but there is some evidence that it was played in England in thel300s. People who do not play cricket (the majority of the human race) know it as a game of childish simplicity. A pleasant game for the beach it seems, but hardly enough to hold the attention of entire nations for days at a stretch.

Determinants of Success in Twenty20 Cricket Michael J
Determinants of success in Twenty20 cricket Michael J. Najdan1, Matthew T. Robins2 and Paul S. Glazier3 1 School of Science and Technology, Clifton Campus, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, UK. 2 Chichester Centre of Applied Sport and Exercise Sciences, University of Chichester, Chichester, Bishop Otter Campus, Chichester, UK. 3 Institute for Sport, Exercise and Active Living, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia. Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of success in Twenty20 cricket. 29 matches for winning teams and 30 matches for losing teams were analysed from the 2010 English domestic Twenty20 competition. Magnitude-based inferences, reported as effect sizes (ES), were used to characterise differences in performance indicators between winning and losing teams. The top 5 indicators of success were losing less wickets in the powerplay overs (ES = -1), losing less wickets between overs 7-10 (ES = -1), 50+ run partnerships (ES = 1), individual batsmen contributing 75+ runs (ES = 1) and 50-74 runs (ES = 1). In addition, winning teams scored a higher percentage of total runs to long-off (ES =0.4) and the off-side (ES = 0.2), and bowled a higher percentage of deliveries at a yorker (ES = 0.4) and short length (ES = 0.58) than losing teams. Collectively, these findings highlight that teams should retain wickets in the first 10 overs of an innings, without necessarily maximising the number of runs scored. In the final 10 overs, teams should outscore the opposition by hitting boundary 4s and avoid scoring a high percentage of runs from 1s. Moreover, from a bowling perspective, a more balanced strategy with regards to bowling length appears to be advantageous, as evidenced by the greater usage of short and yorker length deliveries by winning teams.

Bowling – Basics
Learning to train group Main theme: Bowling Basics Aim: To develop basics of bowling and an understanding of the importance and use of line and length Warm Up (10 min) Bowling specific warm up (Coach explains purpose and importance of the drills for bowling). All players do exercises together. All players perform following across 20 m distance (marked by cones): a. Forward skips b. Backward skips c. Inside foot touch d. Knee across body e. Back leg drive f. Arm and shoulder stretches Grip and stance: Coach demonstrates the correct grip and Base Position for seam bowling: three knee principle. Check each player for correct grip and base position. Target bowling (groups of 68/coach) (45 min) Every player has an incrediball. Check grip and base position is correct. Each group has a marked out lane of 19 yards with stumps to aim at, one player acts as wicketkeeper. Players start with walking run up to allow coach to assess action. Progress to jogging and full pace run up. Coach corrects as necessary. Line and length: Using all weather strip ask a player to chalk out a line/area for different length balls (short, good length, overpitched and yorker), inswing bowler, outswing bowler. If using the field target zones can be marked with discs or cones. Discuss reasons/tactics for varying line and length considering batsman’s hitting style and field placement. Progress to: Bowling a good length: Bowlers aim at 6‐9 cones marking out target area (rectangle) covering a good length in front of single stump. After each player has had several bowls introduce competition among individuals and then between lanes; first player/team to hit target cones 3/6 times is winner.
