What is 'reverse swing' in cricket?

Answer 1

idk

Answer 2

reverse swing is basicaly varying the swing between the bowls.

Answer 3

When the ball is 50 overs old and the pitch is as flat as a pancake, this phenomenon is often a bowling side's saving grace. First mastered by the Pakistani quicks of the 1980s and 1990s, it involves sideways movement of the ball through the air that is contrary to your average everyday laws of physics. If it sounds like rocket science, that is because it is

Answer 4

There is a scientific theorem on the name of scientist Bernoulli ccalled as bernoulli's theorem, which says that the increase in velocity can cause decrease in pressure and vice versa!

In reverse swing the aerodynamics of the ball is such that the rough side of the old ball is weared up and has rough surface compared to the smoother side of the ball so what appens is that the ball starts reversing opposite to direction of swing due o the changed surface area and increase in velocity hence reduction in pressure on the lighter side due to different aerodynamics !

this phenomenon happens with old ball after wear of one side of the ball!

Answer 6

Once the ball becomes older and more worn, it will begin to move in the opposite direction to where it would usually swing with no great change in the bowling grip.

For example, an outswinger's grip will move towards the batsman in the air while an inswinger will move away from the bat.

All this tends to happen very late on in the delivery, making it difficult for the batsman to pick up the changes in the air.

Not every single bowler can obtain reverse swing - the ball needs to be propelled above 80mph or thereabouts to make it move in the air.

Reverse swing is all to do with the deterioration of the ball and the seam position in flight.

As the ball becomes rougher, it will take on a different characteristic as it deteriorates.

So if you present the ball as an outswinger, the ball has deteriorated so much on the rough side that it takes on the characteristics of the shiny side.

Which means a natural outswinger will become an inswinger and conversely, an inswinger into an outswinger.
