Different ways of swinging a cricket ball?

Answer 1

By "polishing" an older ball (say 30-40 overs) on one side only, especially in damp weather, what happens is that the polished side has less air-friction and thus moves faster than the unpolished side, causing turn in mid-air.

Answer 2

If you have slips next to the wicket keeper, all you need to do is point the seam to the closest to the keeper and you will get a late swing, if you point it to the furtherest away slip you will get an early swing

Answer 3
