Bowling Techniques: Seam, Swing, and Spin

Bowling is an art that blends precision, variation, and deception. Seam bowlers focus on hitting the pitch hard and letting the seam movement surprise the batsman. Swing bowlers manipulate the air and ball position to make the ball curve in or out. Spin bowlers rely on revolutions, flight, and changes in pace — off-spin, leg-spin, and left-arm variations — to confuse the batter. Developing a consistent run-up, release, and follow-through is critical for bowlers of any type.
