Play late and don't push at it. If you throw your hands at a moving Duke ball you're getting caught in the slips 100%.

Another trick is to bat a few steps out of your crease. It literally cuts off the swing before the ball can start hooping. It's risky against pace, but it'll mess with the bowler's length for sure.

In Test cricket, to play swing bowling, keep a close eye on the seam, play late under your eyes, and keep your defense strong. Leave balls outside off stump patiently, stay balanced, and don't use hard hands. To survive swing, you need to be patient and have good footwork.

Play swing bowling by watching the ball late, leaving well outside off, playing close to body, keeping soft hands, avoiding loose drives, and respecting the new ball.
