Abstract
A cricket ball possesses six rows of stitches with approximately 60 to 80 stretches in each row and a prominent seam at the joining of two halves. Asymmetric airflow over the ball due to seam orientation and surface roughness of the ball generally causes the flight deviation (swing) and the unpredictable flight. Swing makes difficult for the batsman to hit the ball with his bat and guard the stamps. The primary objectives of this work were to understand the aerodynamic properties of cricket balls, thus the mechanism of swing of a cricket ball. The aerodynamic forces and moments were measured under a range of speeds at various seam orientations.
