Club cricket glossary
Club cricket has a lot of terms that are totally alien to newcomers in the game. I thought it would be interesting to collect these terms into a glossary to make it easier for everyone new or old.
Email me your suggestions for odd cricket terms, especially those used in club cricket.
Here are a couple to start you off.
- Cow corner. A position on the ground located somewhere between deep midwicket and long on, club cricketers of lesser skill often aim to hit the ball there.
- Dinkies. The Second XI
- Jack. The team captain, from the rhyming slang: Jack the Ripper = Skipper
- Triggered. To be given out by an over zealous umpire.
- Snorter. A very good delivery, usually beating the bat with a lot of movement.
