That's an interesting question. I encourage someone to use my trajectory calculator as one way to research this question. I am pretty tied up for the next week and a half or I would do it myself. When my time is a bit more free, I will also take a look at a bunch of riseballs for which I have the full trajectory.
I was curious. Below are a photo of a cricket ball and a short description from Wikipedia. Distinctly different seam orientation than a softball or baseball. Apparently high-level cricket bowlers (akin to SB/BB pitcher) prefer to throw pitches when the ball is new because they swing (cricket speak for curve or move) better because the leather surface starts smooth and "shiny" and deteriorates during game play. Very interesting considering MLB umpire pre-game ball prep - also from Wiki "...Before all major- and minor-league baseball games, an umpire rubs six dozen or more balls with the Baseball Rubbing Mud (ETA from the Delware River near Palmyra, NJ) to give them a rougher surface, making them easier for pitchers to grip (MLB Rule 3.01c)...

"A cricket ball is made from a core of cork, which is layered with tightly wound string, and covered by a leather case with a slightly raised sewn seam. In a top-quality ball suitable for the highest levels of competition, the covering is constructed of four pieces of leather shaped similar to the peel of a quartered orange, but one hemisphere is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the other. The "equator" of the ball is stitched with string to form the ball's prominent seam, with a total of six rows of stitches. The remaining two joins between the leather pieces are stitched internally. Lower-quality balls with a 2-piece covering are also popular for practice and lower-level competition due to their lower cost.
For men's cricket, the ball must weigh between 5 1/2 and 5 3/4 ounces (155.9 and 163.0 g) and measure between 8 13/16 and 9 in (224 and 229 mm) in circumference. In women's cricket the ball must weigh between 4 15/16 and 5 1/16 ounces (139.9 and 143.5 g) and measure between 8.3 and 8.9 in (210 and 225 mm) in circumference. A plastic cricket ball (known as a "Kwik cricket ball") is often used in matches for players who are or younger than 9 years old. Matches for 10 to 13 year olds are played with a ball weighing between 4 11/16 and 5 1/16 ounces (132.9 and 143.5 g). The ball for 10 to 13 year old games must measure between 8 and 8.9 in (205 and 225 mm). Any match for 14 year olds and above which is not a men's match is still played with a fully sized men's cricket ball.[3]
Cricket balls are traditionally dyed red, and red balls are used in Test cricket and First-class cricket. White balls were introduced when one-day matches began being played at night under floodlights, as they are more visible at night. Professional one-day matches are now played with white balls, even when they are not played at night. Other colours have occasionally been experimented with, such as yellow and orange (Glowing composite) for improved night visibility, but the colouring process has so far rendered such balls unsuitable for professional play because they wear differently from standard balls. A pink ball was used for the first time in an international match in July 2009 when the England Woman's team defeated Australia at Wormsley.[4] The white ball has been found to swing (ETA apparently the cricket term for curve or move) a lot more during the first half of the innings than the red ball and also deteriorates more quickly, although manufacturers claim that white and red balls are manufactured using the same methods and materials...."
