“…Old balls provided by a professional cricket team and tested by Scobie et al (2013), balls E-G in figure 7, have swing force coefficients between −0.2 and −0.3 and are likely to sit with this group as well. Tadrist et al (2020) measured swing force coefficients between −0.22 and −0.34 at Re = 2.4 × 10 5 for cricket balls at 0 • seam angle with one side roughened and the other left as new, balls J and K in figure 7. These tests are also best represented by the sketch in figure 17(b).…”

“…Results showing C S against Re for new cricket balls, from Scobie et al (2020), Deshpande, Shakya & Mittal (2018), Sayers & Hill (1999) and Alam et al (2010b) are reproduced in figure 6. Old balls, which have been worn through use in a cricket match (Scobie et al 2013(Scobie et al , 2020Tadrist et al 2020) or aged artificially using sandpaper (Deshpande et al 2018), have also been investigated and results from these experiments are shown in figure 7. Included in both figures are measurements performed for this review paper which are labelled 'W'.…”

This paper reviews 70 years of cricket ball swing literature and reassesses the results in light of new measurements. A comparison of ball tracking data with published experimental results shows that current understanding does not explain the behaviour observed in professional cricket matches. Descriptions of cricket ball boundary layer aerodynamics are updated with new results which show that the seam acts more like a series of vortex generators than a trip and that there is a laminar separation bubble on the seam side of the ball. Previous results for reverse swing are consolidated and compared with new data, showing that different magnitudes of swing occur depending on the condition of both sides of the ball. Variation in pressure and temperature should be included when the Reynolds number, a non-dimensional ball speed, is calculated, while humidity can be neglected. Studies on the effect of wind speed and direction are summarised and results considering the effect of free-stream turbulence are compared with new measurements. Throughout the paper, recommendations for future work are suggested. These include quantitative study of the effect of surface defects and roughness, an assessment of whether atmospheric turbulence can affect swing and investigation into the effect of backspin on swing.
