new ball sometimes cant control and swing too much and goes to leg stump or getting called wide ball. please suggest.Thanks
I am assuming you are deliberately trying to bowl inswing. If it is swinging too much try slightly changing the angle of the seam. Initially the seam will be angled towards leg slip. If it swings too much move the seam slightly straighter.
When you are at training see if you can get a reasonably new ball and practice, practice, practice and practice varying the seam angle and the line, near off stump, outside off stump and well outside off stump. See if you can vary the degree of swing, the further outside the off stump the more you will need to swing the ball in. The closer to the off stump the less you will want to swing otherwise it will end up down leg side.
