inswing
Inswing refers to a type of delivery in cricket where the ball curves inward towards the batsman after being bowled. This movement is typically achieved by a bowler who uses specific grip and seam position techniques. Inswing can be particularly effective against right-handed batsmen, as it can lead to bowled or leg before wicket (LBW) dismissals.
Bowlers like James Anderson and Wasim Akram are known for their ability to deliver inswing effectively. The skill lies in the bowler's ability to control the seam and the wrist position, which influences the ball's trajectory. Mastering inswing can give bowlers a significant advantage in a match.
