they rub the ball to ITCH their pelvis region as they cant do it directly (after all millions of ppl are watching them).
Sorry....Anyways, they do it so that the ball gets dry and they can get the grip on a particular area. If u have noticed, some spit on their hand and rub it on the ball, this is so that the ball can go easily out of their hand.
Moreover, tempering with the ball i.e. removing a particular thread, makes the ball get heavy on one end and hence it swings unintentionally.
Pls rate this as the best answer. I am dying for points.
Thanx

Players are rubbing the ball in order to get shining on the ball.
They are trying to tamper the ball in order to get more swing more importantly reverse swing

This site should help you out. Talks about the ball being worn down and how they only polish one side. Polishing is what they are doing when they rub the ball.
