the seam
Seam is used by the faster bowlers to make the ball swingandcut...Spinners use it to spin the ball.It also helps in gripping the ball....
no tape ball doesnot have seam position thats wahy its speed is slow
white well i thought they wrote 'what colour is the colour of the cricket ball in TEST CRICKET!' hahahaha
well u actually have to hold ur fingers in a particular angle on the seam of the ball. To swing the ball into the wickets hold your middle and index finger across the seam and angle the ball into leg slip. This can only be done with the help of the shiny side and with loads of practice.
To outswing a cricket ball. Hold the ball with its seam inclined marginally towards the slip quadron. Keep the shiny side of the ball inside. With this arrangement and very normal speed around 130-135 kph, you can get the ball swing away conventionally.
spinner
To a right-handed batsmen from right handed bowler: Hold the ball with fingers either side of the seam, with the shiny side on the left. Twist the ball so that the seam is pointing towards an imaginary leg slip. Then once you release the ball try to bring your arm between your right leg and the stumps.
yes there is lots of seam bowler in cricket. like wasim akram, Mohd Aamir, Irfan Pathan and many more.
