What is seam bowling?
The seam of a cricket ball is the ridge formed by the rows of stitching that join the two halves of the leather outer case.
Seam bowling is a style of bowling adopted by fast or medium paced bowlers. It is marked by the deviation of the ball off the wicket when the seam touches the ground. Seam bowling has become very popular nowadays, leading to a decline in slow bowling. The demand of one-day cricket is one of the reasons for the rise in importance of seam bowling.
