How To Bowl Outswing

Sport : Cricket

The outswinger is the term given in cricket to a traditional swing delivery that moves in the air from the leg stump to the off stump.

To bowl this ball, you need to ensure that when you hold the ball, you have it held with a vertical seam pointing in the direction of the fielder who stands in roughly the third man position.

Note that you will have two fingers on the seam, and ensure that they follow the seam all the way through the action.

It will take practice to get this ball right, but when you do it can be very effective. Note that it also works much better in certain conditions which will make the ball much more likely to swing.
