You're getting into the nitty-gritty of bowling techniques! Here's the difference between Over the Wicket and Round the Wicket:
Over the Wicket:
Delivery Point: The bowler delivers the ball from over the stumps, meaning the ball's trajectory is generally straight towards the batsman.
Bowler's Position: A right-arm bowler will be positioned on the right side of the stumps, while a left-arm bowler will be on the left side.
Typical for: Right-arm bowlers often bowl over the wicket, as it allows them to generate more pace and swing the ball towards the batsman's off stump.
Round the Wicket:
Delivery Point: The bowler delivers the ball from behind the stumps, meaning the ball's trajectory is generally angled towards the batsman.
Bowler's Position: A right-arm bowler will be positioned on the left side of the stumps, while a left-arm bowler will be on the right side.
Typical for: Left-arm bowlers often bowl round the wicket, as it allows them to generate more spin and angle the ball towards the batsman's off stump.
This difference in delivery angle and bowler position creates a different challenge for the batsman, making it a fascinating tactical battle.
