| has gloss | eng: Yorker is a term used in cricket that describes a delivery where the cricket ball bounces on the cricket pitch on or near the batsmans popping crease. Since a batsman in a normal stance has his feet on the popping crease, this means the ball is bouncing very near his feet, which makes the ball difficult to hit with the bat. This is usually the ideal' place for a bowler to bowl, yet, because this is close to the batsmen, many bowlers mistime the release of the ball and bowl a full toss instead. |
