New Bowling Technique Revolutionizes Cricket

Wind tunnel experiments reveal why horizontal arm deliveries deceive batters and enhance game strategy.

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.
