I know nothing of cricket but is this allowed? You're interfering with the ball.

There is a danger that Meat Spin interferes with balls, at least based on the video evidence I've seen.

I know nothing of cricket but is this allowed? You're interfering with the ball. The bowlers may polish the ball whenever they can - usually by rubbing it on their trousers, producing the characteristic red stain that can often be seen there. However, they will usually only polish one side of the ball, in order to create 'swing' as it travels through the air. They may apply saliva or sweat to the ball as they polish it. Since the condition of the cricket ball is crucial to the amount of movement through the air a bowler can produce, the laws governing what players may and may not do to the ball are specific and rigorously enforced. The umpires will inspect the ball frequently during a match. If the ball is out of shape due to normal wear and tear due to batting and ball hitting the pitch, a ball of similar usage rate and condition will be replaced (ie a ball of about 30-overs old will be replaced by a ball about the same 'age'). It is illegal for a player to: rub any substance apart from saliva or sweat onto the ball rub the ball on the ground scuff the ball with any rough object, including the fingernails pick at or lift the seam of the ball. |

I am by no means an expert, but I remember my Physics teacher saying "swing" bowling was nonsense as a projectile moving in the air on one axis cannot deviate if air resistance on one side of the ball is different over 20 yards at typical cricket bowling speed. He put an equation on the board as well. He reckoned any movement was due to the bounce.

this is also the case for Meatspin
