When the ball is new it is very very difficult to see the shine because it is almost similar color on both sides. However, when the fielding team works on it, one side becomes more darker as it is not worked upon.So due to the pronounced color difference it becomes bit easy to identify which side the shine is.That is when the bowlers try to hide the shine.Some international players have said they could see the shine even against pace bowlers,whereas others could not.
Majority of cricketers though play on the instinct once the ball is delivered and acts after pitching.

Appreciate his brilliance, you'd rather be listening to Bhogle bore your ears off about what he had for dinner and that is some talent.

Would rather have Danny Morrison in the Sky Sports commentary team than Bob Willis/Nasser Hussain/Ian Botham/Ian Ward/Charles Colville/Michael Holding
