Bounce out

Much in cricket depends on the bowler’s actions. It’s the bowler who delivers the ball to the batsman, with the option of making play as difficult as possible for the other team. Great bowlers tend to be proficient at multiple variations of their delivery styles. One such strategy is to bounce out a ball that is meant to bounce and compel the batsman into a reactive shot.

Bounce Out: What It Means

A bouncer is bowled to shoot up sharply after landing on the pitch, after taking a frequently unpredictable path. A lot of this action is based on the spin or seam position the bowler gives. Conditions also differ from country to country, as methods of preparing the pitch are different. Some grounds use one approach to prepare the surface, while others use entirely different techniques. That’s why cricketers need to take pitch conditions into account seriously while preparing for a match.
