For Jimmy’s outswinger, he will hold the ball in the outswing grip, run up and go through his delivery stride as normal.

With the last bit of momentum being applied to the ball by this finger, this causes the seam to rotate in the direction of first slip, making it more likely to swing away from the batsman. Inswing Outswinger: An outswinger to a right-handed batsman can be bowled by aligning the seam slightly to the left towards the slips and placing the roughened side of the ball on the left. To extract consistent swing, a bowler can also rotate his wrist toward the slips while keeping his arm straight.

Malcolm Marshall, Richard Hadlee, Dominic Cork, Courtney Walsh and Dale Steyn have been great exponents of the outswingers.

Nobel prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman and his colleague Amos Tversky showed that the way people think about probability and come to judgements based on evidence is subject to biases that make us rather poor intuitive scientists.

The way you grip the ball should be different depending on whether you are trying to bowl outswing or inswing. Let’s examine the two different grips in detail… Outswing Grip (To a Right Handed Batsman) Inswinger: An inswinger to a right-handed batsman can be bowled by aligning the seam slightly to the right and placing the roughened side of the ball on the right. To extract consistent swing, a bowler can also rotate or "open up" his wrist towards leg slip. To a right-handed batsman, this results in the ball moving in to the leg side while in flight, usually inwards towards his body.
