Throughout www.TheAggot.com, certain terminology is used to help
explain different attributes and functions of The Aggot™. Some
of these definitions are widely known and used in cricket however
some are not.
Those terms that are not widely known do in no way intend to change
how certain things are referred to in coaching circles but are used
to help explain how The Aggot™ can be used to provide the maximum
benefit.
Spin: Spin refers to the rotation imparted on the
ball around an axis.
Overspin: Overspin can be considered ‘topspin’
as that it refers to the spin that is imparted up the back and over
the top of the ball. The ball then loops in the air and drops faster
than would be the case with a ball with no imparted spin and then
bounces high.
Sidespin: Sidespin refers to the spin that is imparted
on the side of the ball. When the ball hits the ground, it can make
the ball turn off the wicket.
Turn: Turn refers to the deviation of the ball off the wicket
when a bowler imparts spin on the ball.
Drift: Drift refers to the sideways movement of the
ball in the air based on the amount and direction of spin imparted
on the ball. Drift is a term used for spin
bowling only. Drift, when achieved correctly, usually occurs very
late in its path of travel when the ball is close to the batsman.
Swing: Swing refers to the sidways movement of the
ball in the air based on the angle of the seam and differences in
air pressure produced by opposing sides of
the ball. Swing is a term used for non-spin bowlers only.
