How to prepare a ball for the swing bowlers
Hello all, I'm not on this part of the forum much as I'm a spinner, but we've got one or two excellent swing bowlers in our club and I wanted some tips on how I can help them in preparing the ball so that it swings. I've asked one of our swing bowlers to give me a few tips on how to get the shiny to rough contrast, but I'm obviously avid to get as much information as I can, such as:
How many overs/until what point in the ball's deterioration should you wait before deciding which side to shine?
What bad habits should spinners avoid so that they don't hamper the ball's ability to swing?
How exactly do you shine the ball?
