An outswinger is a ball that moves away from the right hander. To bowl an outswinger, you have the shiny side of the ball facing towards the batsmen. The shinier the ball, the furtherer it will move

Normal swing occurs mostly when the ball is new. As it wears more, it is more difficult to extract a large amount of swing. When the ball becomes very old it begins to swing towards the shine. This is known as reverse swing- which means a natural outswinger will become an inswinger and conversely, an inswinger into an outswinger.

Reverse swing in an exact opposite of conventional cricket ball swing. It normally occurs when the ball gets a little old. Depending on weather conditions, pitch nature and environment around, the ball normally starts getting old after 20 to 25 overs. In Australia and South Africa, the ball normally starts reverse swinging around 40 to 45 overs.

While the ball starts getting old, players on the ground (especially bowlers) try desperately to keep the shine on one side of the ball while the other side of the ball keeps getting rougher. Once there is a significant difference of shine and roughness on both sides of the ball, the ball starts swinging towards the shiny side. This is called reverse swing, however, it is not natural and the bowlers have to really work hard to deliver reverse swing.

When the ball becomes very old - around 40 or more overs old - it begins to swing towards the shine. This is known as reverse swing- which means a natural outswinger will become an inswinger and conversely, an inswinger into an outswinger.

Kapil was a right-arm pace bowler noted for his graceful action and potent outswinger, and was India's main strike bowler throughout most of his career. He also developed a fine inswinging yorker during the 1980s which he used very effectively against tail-enders. As a batsman he was a natural striker of the ball who could hook and drive effectively. A naturally aggressive player, he often helped India in difficult situations by taking the attack to the opposition. His nickname wasThe Haryana Hurricane --- he used to represent the Haryana cricket team.

Actually, in my experience, slightly oldish cricket balls tend to swing more than new balls. This happens when you keep one side clean by shining it / rubbing it on your shirt / sweater / trousers and let the other side become dirty / dull. If you then bowl with the seam in an upright position, the difference in air resistence beween the clean and dirty sides makes the ball swing. If done correctly, the ball will swing from shiny side to dirty side - reason being (supposedly) that the shiny side travels slightly faster through the air than the dirty side. Thus, if you hold the ball with the shiny side to the left, you will swing the ball from left to right (an inswinger to a right-hander) and vice-versa (an outswinger to a right-hander) - generally considered more diffiuclt to achieve.
