Why do cricketers spit on the ball?
Cricketers Spit on otherwise known as "shining" a cricket ball as they would like their fast bowlers to be able to swing the ball in later overs. They only shine on side and leave the other side "rough". When bowling, the bowler will bowl with the seam (middle of a cricket ball) in an upright position and when the ball is delivered, the air will travel faster past the smooth, shined side of the ball and on the other side there will be drag and air will get caught on the rough side... this difference in wind speeds passing the ball results in ball "swining"- movinging in the air.
Does the surface affect the bounce of a ball?
Yes... If the surface is smooth, then the ball should bounce fine but if the surface is rough the ball will bounce all over the place.

Does the texture of the floor affect the distance a ball travels?
yes because a rough surface may slow the ball down and a smooth syrface may let it keep going. {it also depends on the type of ball}
Why cricket ball swings in air?
It is because of the air friction. To make a ball swing one side is shined up and made smooth while the other side is left to be scuffed by the pitch and what not. When the ball travells through the air the shined side goes faster as there is less air resistance this causes the ball to swing to a side.
