There's no way I would play a game where an Indian guy could run at me with a bat. The amazing thing is what goes on in the science of how they will shine one side of the ball, leaving the other side of the balls in a mat. So that then enhances Magnus effect. There's all sorts of things going on within the game. But you get body line techniques or the aim and it'll pitch up round here and you find batsman will darken all the rest of it. It can end up quark screwing, perhaps, depending on which way it's spinning. You can't foresee unless you have really good vision watching the thing spin.
How do bikes and motorcycles stay up? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly explain how to kick a ball into orbit, what’s going on with cricket, and the physics of bicycles.
