In cricket, the ball trajectory has a more parabolic profile than in baseball and takes longer to reach target, especially with spin bowlers and slower seam bowlers.

I would take it on the chin there has been no scientific research into this, but would offer up the suggestion that simple physics dictates that the friction is different, hence the power behind the throw and the opposing gravitational resistance (taken as a constant relationship?) is affected by a variable, (air friction to give it a title) and so may be different, all other aspects remaining unchanged.

But comparing to baseball, the trajectory is, as I said, so different with cricket that if Freddie Flintoff is right, (and he is in an excellent position to relate experience) it still does not mean the same would apply with baseball.

I have always accepted that you can get the ball swinging better on overcast humid days, and it appears to be an observable reality. A bit surprised this has not been a viable research topic.
