I was naturally an inswing bowler so it took me a few years to develop it.

First thing is get your wrist locked or twisted towards 1st slip. Then the most difficult part is to keep the wrist locked at 1st slip when you release the ball. It might not work straight away but if you keep persisting you will get it right.
Also remember to have the the cricket ball shine on the right hand side with the rough being on the left hand side (towards 1st slip). Last thing remember to pitch the ball up.

what if i flick my wrist towards 1st slip just before i release it

it works for me when bringing the ball back in to the right hander or away from the left hander.

Well you need to flick the ball so you can create some backspin. The more you do it the more it will swing. Its easy to do this for the inswinger or seam up ball but it will take some more time for the outswinger. Main point is keep your wrist locked at first slip till you release the ball. Try it with a brand new cherry.

practise on a cloudy day, id never bowled medium pace in my life until one day it was quite humid and overcast, swung it in and out quite consistantly.

aim the seam between the keeper and first slip, and pitch it up high, aim around the 4th stump, and bowl above 60 mph, its bound to swing.

i always found inswing slightly more difficult to bowl personally.

I actually disagree with the cloud theory regarding swing.
As long as it slightly humid the ball will swing regardless if there is clouds or not (it will probably swing more if there are humid overhead conditions).
It is more to do with your cocked wrist position and how much backspin you generate when the wrist is flicked.

yeah that may be true, i just found it swung where it hadnt before under clouds. that pbly had something to do with the fact that i normally bowl spin and only bowled swing cos it was cloudy.

paindoo logic

Well what I do is keep my wrist straight and turn the seam towards 1st slip if the conditions are friendly than it will swing if.not you have to use angles which I do flick the wrist

Your wrist is pointed towards 1st slip that's ok. But just before you release the ball you have to cock your wrist back otherwise the ball will not come out right.
It will come naturally the more you practice it. Try it a few times in the nets then get back to me if it doesnt work.

I can swing the ball both ways without trying to do so however I have to change action.

Why would you need to change if you swing it in both directions??

I mean to bowl an inswinger I have to change my action for the outswinger I bowl.
