Swing bowling is one of the most romanticized arts in the history of cricket. Making the ball swerve in the air and move it inches is a most pleasing sight to watch.
There have many great exponents of this art, who have enticed audiences with their skills, an also brought glory for their respective teams. Now swing includes both traditional swing as well as reverse swing, where the ball swings in a direction opposite to its shine. There have been masters of both the arts and some of the big names that come to the mind include Alec Bedser, Waqar Younis, Malcolm Marshall and Imran Khan amongst others. There are many tales of those mystifying balls, doing many things at once, leaving behind even the best batsmen perplexed and sometimes havoc created by those uncanny bouncers.
