Bowling techniques |
---|
An inswinger is a type of delivery of the ball in the sport of cricket. In such a delivery the ball curves—or "swings"—in toward the batter's body and the wicket. By contrast, an outswinger swings away from the line of the batter and the wicket. Inswingers are bowled by swing bowlers.
The term has also been adopted into football commentary, in which context it describes a cross of the ball kicked so that it curves in toward the goal.
