Make sure you keep the seam dry! Otherwise it'll be absolutely impossible to bowl with.
Make sure you shine one side intensively. Otherwise, the ball will swing out of control, and you'll get thumped. Has happened to me :|
But there's nothing like some elbow grease to do the job!
I often wonder how much hair product some of those bowlers are getting on the ball when they wipe their brow.

You don't have to shine tennis balls, but if you ever want to play real cricket, then shining the ball is crucial. Also I highly doubt your location is Afghanistan since the only internet access available there is in military compounds at the present time.
Doesn't mean he still isnt in line for a serving.
And he wont come back now:laughurprisingly enough the guy who posted that message three years ago visited the forum today.
Gazza, that bit about 'The ball swings out of control and you'll get thumped..' isn't that a good thing? The more swing the better.
If you are swinging it heaps, that's the aim of good swing bowling - the second part however is finding the right accuracy. No use pitching them on off-stump if it's going to swing down leg stump.
Actually, what I find quite interesting with my bowling, is that I used to get a lot of out-swing when I bowled a few years ago, then for a long time I didn't get any swing, and now I'm finally getting my out-swing back. It's strange how it works.. but it's good when you get the ball swinging, it's always nice to get them moving away, can get a lot of edges and miscued shots from a good out-swinger.
