Batsmen are used to facing orthodox swing—which happens when the ball is still relatively hard and new in the first 10 to 15 overs. However, over the past 20 years fast bowlers have developed a new method of making the ball move in the air with the older ball called 'reverse swing'.
Swing bowling essentially involves being able to change the direction of the ball in mid-air. There are two types of swing to explore here: 'conventional' and 'reverse' swing.
