they do spit on the ball, but only on one side. the other side is kept roughed up and the shiny side is polished with spit and sweat so that it gets heavier. reverse swing happens because the centre of gravity shifts away from the centre of the ball towards the shiny side. that's why when the ball is delivered the ball moves towards the shiny side.
