4About it

A cricket ball is a hard ball with a cork center, wound tight with string and covered in leather. A raised seam of stitching runs around its middle. Red balls are used in long matches that can last days, and white ones in shorter games.

Bowlers hold the ball with the seam upright, because a seam that lands upright can jump sideways off the ground. Tap it for a seam-up flick: the seam stands tall while the ball spins backward, then it comes down, skids on with its backspin until the spin grips, and rolls home.
