Best Answer

A cricket ball moves simultaneously in two motions which are rotary and linear. The velocity of the air below the ball is decreased because these two motions are opposing each other. Thus, the pressure on the upper side of the ball is lesser and there is an upward force that works upon the ball. This makes the ball follow a curved path and not a parabolic one.
