Cricket Terms and Expressions
Cricket is a rather strange sport that even an avid cricket fan will admit. Therefore, it is not surprising that cricket has many peculiar and even bizarre expressions. For example, you might have a "leggings" googling an offside night watchman. The batsman kicks forward defensively and traps the silly middle.
It is clear that the terms and expressions of cricket require some clarification. You may even see cricket mentioned in everyday use, such as "this is not cricket" or "sticky wicket". Indeed, it is impossible to cover all the unique terms and expressions of cricket with a few hundred words, but you can get close enough.
Play field
Pitch - also known as a wicket; it is usually an empty rectangle in the middle of the field
Wickett: Oddly enough, it refers to serving, stumps and handrails or the more abstract concept of firing a batsman.
The crease - please “hit the crease”, because going out of the crease - the white line on the field in front of any wicket - has associated risks.
Border - Usually a rope is used to mark the playing field.
Field positions
Almost all field positions have strange names. Positioning guidance is essential for the uninitiated. Some of the odd names to come across while watching cricket include Silly Mid and Silly Mid, Lovely Foot, Square Foot, Midwicket, The Third Man, Point, Miss "And" Ravine ". Offside is the side of the field that the attacker is looking at, and the side of the leg is the opposite side.
Types of matches
First Class: A First Class Match is an official cricket match that is played over several days (minimum three) and allows two innings per team.
Test Match: The Test Match is a five-day First Class match between countries that have Test Match status.
One Day Match: This is known as the “List A” and includes official matches at the international and national levels. International matches in this format are one-day international.
Twenty20 or T20: These are the official 20 overs for extra matches. International T20 matches are Twenty20 international matches.
Dismissal methods
When a batsman "runs out" it means that the team on the field hit the wicket at the end to which he ran before he had a chance to cross the crease. “LBW” (foot in front of the wicket) is when the referee has decided that the ball would have hit the stumps if it had not hit the batsman's court first - with other rather complex considerations.
The batsman who is in the "bowling alley" has the ball that he collides with, hits the stumps to knock out the bail (s). When commentators say a batsman is knocked down and cut off, the stumps are usually uprooted or turned around, usually after the batsmen have missed the ball. The batsman is stumped when he tries to play the ball and comes out of the crease when the wicket removes the bail or rips out the stump.
You can get the complete library of cricket terms and expressions. If you try to memorize them all, you can even prevent memory loss. The list of cricket terms and expressions is so long that we must call it "Criconix".
