I'm not sure if anyone would know for sure the answer to this, but it's worth asking anyway since I can't find an answer anywhere...
So, when it comes to how bowling skills correlate with in game effect... for spinners it's easy to see that the skill levels in each delivery directly influence the amount of RPM that is imparted on the ball when bowling that type of delivery. And following that logic, for pace bowlers it's also easy to observe how a skilled bowler gets more swing or cut on the ball when bowling swinging or cutting deliveries...
But what about Straight Seam and Slower Ball? Since any movement you get in the air or off the pitch is a result of the condition of the ball and where the ball bounces on the seam respectively, what exactly is a bowler who's skilled at Straight Seam and Slower Ball better at in-game than one who isn't skilled in these deliveries?
