In this special guest episode we chat with sports aerodynamicist and data analyst Aaron Briggs!

What an unbelievable guest Aaron is! He reached out after listening to our episode on swing. We had to get him on the podcast to share his incredible knowledge and set the record straight about how and why a cricket ball swings! He did a PHD at Cambridge Uni on the aerodynamics of swing bowling.

We discuss everything to do with swing. How to look after the ball, what atmospheric conditions help swing, the optimal pace to suit the air temperature. Aaron also drops quite a few theories. This episode is full of mind blowing stuff!

Aaron has a blog Aaron Briggs | Substack well worth checking out! He is also on linkedIn and Twitter (x) as ABriggsCricket
