you mean this?

Exactly. Is there one for swing as well or did I misunderstand and it's always for seam movement? It probably does often hold true for seam as well, although I'd suspect there are more guys who'll produce the ocassional big seaming delivery opposite to their normal shape just because seam is a bit more random.

Anyway, if I'm reading that right there's a strong bias towards away seam for Topley? Every bowler I've seen so far is similarly one sided.

There's no reference to it in the commentary what it specifically is displaying.

I'm not 100% sure what it's meant to display. If the colouring is showing seam movement off the pitch - with the centre being the same for each delivery and the red zone being more extravagant movement- or the position the ball passes the stumps. The 'W' for the wicket ball is fairly close to other deliveries which pass by much wider, so I'd expect it's the former.

I took that screenshot from (

about 54.35 minutes in). They have other matches on there so you might be able to scrub through some and find something else.

Well, presumably zero movement is dead centre of the green bit. Just not sure whether seam right means off or legside.

I'd expect it's going from left to right, from the bowlers POV. Probably calculated by the position the ball pitches and the position of passing the stumps (or would pass based on ball tracking).

So if it pitches on off and seams right it'd end up outside off. Depending how far from the pitching position would determine far on the right it appears on the graphic with the centre being 0.

Ok, well she bowls inswingers and her variation is the straight one. Not sure she has an outswinger.

Pretty much, she's the perfect example of someone who swings it one way.

No wicket for Shaheen in his first five. Get rid. He's finished.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Wicket with his seventh ball, maybe he's still got it.

CJ is such a T20 cricketer

I think I've just worked out why they label the axes left and right instead of offside and legside. They'd have to segregate the rhb and lhb or it would look like all the bowlers were swinging it both ways.

Partenrship of 71 and Overton contributes 6

And they'd have to explain to their target audience what off and legside mean.

That should be simple enough I'd think

If the commentators say 'over' they correct themselves like they've just dropped a slur. So I wouldn't be surprised if offside and leg side are outlawed.

Although, like TJ says, the graphic probably just shows which way the ball goes, regardless of the batter on strike.
