38 Misuse of the term reverse swing

Contributors: bnaick, Drewy
Reverse swing is when the ball swings towards the shine
correct? I've noticed that commentators use the term reverse

swing the old ball conventionally any more (no explanation
as to why this art has been lost almost overnight!)
Just an observation..
