Inswing techniques in cricket

There are three main types of swing bowling:

IN-SWING | OUT-SWING | REVERSE-SWING

Your bowling action and the way you release the cricket ball will determine how the ball will swing. If you have an excellent fast bowling technique, you will have more chance of being able to swing the ball both ways at good pace because you can release the ball with your wrist and the seam in a good position.

Step of inswing balling in cricket

  • Grip the cricket ball so that the seam is upright and pointing to fine leg
  • The shiny side of the cricket ball should be facing the off-side
  • The cricket ball seam should stay vertical and angled as it moves through the air
  • The ball will swing from off-side to leg-side, moving in to a right-handed batsman

Well reverse swing is... reverse, and outswing is by far the dominant conventional form. As for why it seems to be harder to get the same amount of movement away with reverse swing (if you're not Ben Stokes), dunno.

In swing is way easy to bowl than out swing. fore finger on the vertical seam and an open action is good enough to produce prodigeous inswing. Out swing needs far better wrist position and release.

Why is reverse-swing almost always in-swing but most bowlers' regular swing is outswing
I think it’s just because reverse swing happens with an old ball on an abrasive surface, so there tends to be less bounce and it makes more sense to target the stumps than the outside edge.

Aside from not even being technically correct, doesn't have much to do with what I said.

Nah it's not this. Regardless of whether the bowler is left or right-armed, or the batsmen is left or right-handed, "in-swing" is by far more common/easier to do.
