If you're swinging in, angle it accross (even if that means as a right-armer going around-the-wicket to a right-hander). If you're swinging it out, angle in. Always. And the more you're swinging, the wider on the crease you want to bowl.
Anderson excels in this area too. It's astonishing how instinctively well he seems to understand bowling, yet how incredibly long it's taken him to actually get that good at it. And that still after having done so his figures are moderate.

Well he had to bowl for a couple of years with an remodelled action and be a drinks waiter.
According to Holding Anderson finds it hard to bowl around the wicket to left handers because of his bowling action.
