A cricket ball reverses swing due to the asymmetrical wear on its surface. When one side of the ball is polished and shiny while the other side is rough, the airflow around the ball becomes uneven. As it travels through the air, the polished side creates less turbulence, allowing the ball to maintain a straighter path, while the rough side causes more turbulence, leading to a swing in the opposite direction. This effect is more pronounced at higher speeds and with older balls.

Why cricket ball swings in air?
It is because of the air friction. To make a ball swing one side is shined up and made smooth while the other side is left to be scuffed by the pitch and what not. When the ball travells through the air the shined side goes faster as there is less air resistance this causes the ball to swing to a side.
When the server tosses the ball up in the air and swings and misses the ball in tennis the serve is?
It's going to be repeated.
Which ball plastic or cricket ball having same velocity will cover more distance?
A cricket ball will generally cover more distance than a plastic ball when both are thrown at the same velocity. This is due to the cricket ball's greater density and aerodynamic design, which allows it to maintain momentum and resist air drag more effectively. The heavier mass of the cricket ball contributes to its ability to travel farther compared to the lighter plastic ball, which can be more affected by air resistance.
What do you think will happen when the cricket ball is hit by a cricket Bat- will it stay in the air or fall down on the earth?
fall down on the earth or in the hands of a fielder
What is the difference between swing ball and spin ball?
I believe that spin is exerted on to the ball by the hand, swing is how the ball moves in the air and turn is what the ball does off the pitch. If you're asking about cricket.
Is moving of a cricket ball absorbs energy why?
When a cricket ball is moved, energy is required to overcome inertia, air resistance, and friction. This energy is absorbed by the ball when it is moved. Additionally, any force applied to the ball during movement also results in energy transfer and absorption.
What is wrist spin?
In cricket, wrist spin is the act of spinning the ball in the air with a wrist-flicking motion before the ball is removed from the hand.
Why can a cricket ball do more work than a golfball even when they are going at the same speed?
When the ball is older and there is an asymmetry in roughness the seam no longer causes the pressure difference, and can actually reduce the swing of the ball. Air turbulence is no longer used to create separation point differences and therefore the lift and pressure differences. On the rough side of the ball there are scratches and pits in the ball's surface. These irregularities act in the same manner as the dimples of a golf ball: they trap the air, creating a layer of trapped air next to the rough side of the ball, which moves with the surface of the ball. The smooth side does not trap a layer of air. The next layer of air outward from the ball will have a greater velocity over the rough side, due to its contact with a layer of trapped air, rather than solid ball. This lowers the static pressure relative to the shiny side, which swings the ball. If the scratches and tears completely cover the rough side of the ball, the separation point on the rough side will move to the back of the ball, further than that of the turbulent air, thereby creating more lift and faster air flow. This is why a new ball will swing more than a old ball. If the seam is used to create the turbulent air on the rough side, the tears will not fill as quickly as they would with laminar flow, dampening the lift and pressure differences.
What is meant when commentators say that the ball had a whiff?
In baseball when a batter swings all the way through with force and hits nothing but air.
Did Connie Francis have the nickname Cricket?
Cricket is an English Ball sport- a type of insect, and the Crickets were the back-up Band of Buddy Holly ( lost in l959 air crash). That"s it on the cricket file.
Why do cricketers spit on the ball?
Cricketers Spit on otherwise known as "shining" a cricket ball as they would like their fast bowlers to be able to swing the ball in later overs. They only shine on side and leave the other side "rough". When bowling, the bowler will bowl with the seam (middle of a cricket ball) in an upright position and when the ball is delivered, the air will travel faster past the smooth, shined side of the ball and on the other side there will be drag and air will get caught on the rough side... this difference in wind speeds passing the ball results in ball "swining"- movinging in the air.
What is catching in the sport of cricket?
It is where a batsmen hits the ball into the air and without a bounce a fielder catches it meaning the batsmen is out.
