Out swing occurs when the ball moves away from a right-handed batter in the air. Fast bowlers use wrist position and seam orientation to create out swing. For instance, James Anderson bowled consistent out swingers to dismiss top batters in a Test match. Batters adjust by covering the offside and playing late.
Pro-Tip: Out swing is particularly effective in early overs with a shiny new ball.
