Overview

• Researchers at Amity University Dubai studied the aerodynamics of cricket balls using wind tunnel experiments.
• The near-horizontal arm position during delivery creates a high-speed spinning effect that alters the ball's trajectory.
• This technique leverages the Magnus effect, causing the ball to shift mid-flight and making it harder for batters to hit.
• The study highlights the effectiveness of this bowling style throughout all phases of a match.
• Future research will explore how factors like ball wear influence its aerodynamics.
