You've probably heard of many terms used in cricket. Here are some examples of these terms. We'll discuss terms like broken wicket, donkey drop, blockholer and off-side.
Off-side
It is a term that is used in cricket. It can also apply to other sports. In cricket, off-side refers to half of the field. It extends from the right-hand batsman's end wicket to the third man. It includes the off-side corner of the wicket as well as the mid/long side.
Dot ball
A cricket ball that does not score any runs is known as a "dotball". The scoreboard will show the name of the player who has not scored any runs. This is bad news for the batsmen as the goal of the game is scoring as many runs as possible.
Donkey-drop
Donkey-drop cricket refers to a delivery that is extremely high in flight, but not high enough to catch the batsman. The ball could either drop from the bowler's hands or land directly in front of the batsman during the flight. This term has an amusing ring. It can also be used for a type of action or bowling style.
Blockholer
A block is an offensive batting shot, which is meant to keep the ball away from the wicket. A blockholer in cricket is an experienced player who uses sound defensive techniques. Their batting style can impede new-ball bowling and cause bowlers to make mistakes. This can also stall a team’s momentum. England has had several blockers in the past, including G. Boycott who played in 108 Tests of England between 1964-1982. Currently, M.A.Atherton holds the position. He is a blocker of his own.
Popping Crease
Popping crease, pop up crease, and umpire’s crease are all terms commonly used in cricket. These terms can all be used to make line decisions in cricket. The crease is also used to determine when a bowler can overstep. The umpire will usually call no ball if the bowler is not within the line.
Nurdle
A nurdle is the term for the way a batter taps the ball onto the playing field. This technique is useful for scoring runs in a short period of time. It requires agility and a funny sense of humor.
