If there is contrast swing.Then is it possible that it will be included as a special delivery in the upcoming cricket games?

Unless it becomes well known and used by a good percentage of bowlers, no

come on guys!!

Do you seriously think that bowlers of the class of thmoson, lillee, botham, imran, waqar, akram were unaware of this "contrast swing"... i am sure they have used it quite often... its only now that they are giving such balls a "name".

 

[Adarsh]

I am 100% sure they didn't know what contrast swing was. They were successful because:
1) It isn't the "be all and end all" of bowling, far from it. You can be a great bowler with this 'phenomenon'.
2) They might have bowled it quite often, without knowing what it was.

Rahulk666 is pretty much right. The class bowlers of yesteryear all essentially bowled inswing and outswing. It just didn't matter what way the seam faced or how old the ball was. When the ball was right for swinging they would swing it. It is only today with increased coverage and improved Tv Cameras that they are able to label every swing with a new fancy name.

As Sir Garfield Sobers said, there is inswing, and outswing, that is all.
