    .


  2. Drift  is  the slight lateral curved-path movement that a spinner extracts while the ball is in flight.

  3. Ive just read one of Shane Warnes bios and he claimed he achived so much drift by how much spin he put on the ball. Its is said that at training sesions that coaches standing 25 feet behind the stumps could hear his fingers click and the "fizzing" in the air.

    Whats with George Michael as your avatar?

    Anyway Drift is the flight of the ball bending in from the bowlers arm towards the off stump. The main way of spinners getting drift is from bowling across the wind , as this literally blows the ball as it travels. Quicks obviously use the shine to move the ball quickly in the air , but as spinners bowl a lot slower it sort of drifts in, hence called drift.
