1BALL TEMPERING
Ball tempering is a well known term throughout the history of the cricket. The term
‘Ball Tempering' refers some actions through which fielders or bolar illegally alters the outer
surface of the ball to change its aerodynamic shape to gain an extra advantage to weaken the
batsman in an unauthorised way during the delivery of the ball. This paper will discuss the
history and mechanism of ball tampering. The paper will also discuss how the ball altering is
a part of the game and how the tempering is considered as an illegal and punishable activity.
This paper will opine about the authenticity of this approach and how the International
Cricket Council can handle these issues. The purpose of this paper is to analyse if the ball
tempering is part of the game or not.
Understanding the mechanical explanation behind the linear motion of the ball and its
potential devotion is very important in order to identify the practical causes of this situation.
At the time of the delivery, while the ball is released from the hand of the bolar the motion of
the ball depends on the surface of the external layer, rotational velocity, linear velocity and
the angular position of the stitches or seam with the axis of the rotating ball. The friction
between the air and the outer layer of the ball can cause small to large deviation of the linear
velocity of the ball (Mehta 2014). The impact of angular velocity and the fiction with the air
on the linear momentum of the ball get higher within a particular bandwidth of the delivery
speed of the ball. This aerodynamics phenomenon is used to ‘Swing’ the ball and to create
“Magnus” effect in a specific ‘Spin ball’ technique.
To make the ball ‘swing’ through the air bolar uses the angular velocity and the
rotation of the ball by throwing it with lots of efforts and specialised techniques. Mostly, for
swing balling style these techniques are used in three different ways namely conventional
swing, reverse swing and combinational swing (Moran 2016). Through various techniques,
the external layer of this ball can be changed. Changing the surface of only one side of the
seam or stitches of the ball can cause imbalance air turbulence during the rotational motion of
