You have likely come across many terms related to cricket if your interest is in this sport. We'll be discussing some of these terms. We'll talk about terms like broken wicket (down wicket), donkey-drop and blockholer.
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 right-hand batsman's wicket to the third. It also includes the offside square and mid/long off.
Dot ball
A cricket ball that fails score runs is called "dotball" in cricket. If the batsman does not score any runs, his name will appear on the scoreboard with one "dot". This is not good news for the batting teams as they want to score as many runs possible.
Donkey-drop
The term donkey-drop cricket refers a delivery that is high in flight but not high enough for the batsman to be out. The ball could either drop from the bowler's hands or land directly in front of the batsman during the flight. This term is amusing and can also be used as a reference to a particular type of bowling action or a style.
Blockholer
A block is an offensive batting shot, which is meant to keep the ball away from the wicket. Blockholer in cricket refers to an experienced batsman who has sound defensive technique. Their batting skills can slow down new-ball bowling, cause mistakes by bowlers, and even halt a team's momentum. England has had several blockers over the years, including G. Boycott, who played in 108 Tests for England between 1964 and 1982. Currently, M.A.Atherton is the blocker.
Popping Crease
You may have heard terms from cricket such as pop-up, pop-up, and umpire's. All of these terms are used to decide line decisions in cricket, including run outs and stumpings. 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 a term used to describe the way a batsman taps the ball on the free area of the playing field. This is a great technique for scoring runs quickly. It requires a flexible wrist and a great sense of humor.
