Across
- 2. A score of 0
- 4. Another word for batsman, first used as long ago as 1773. Also something you fry fish in
- 7. Series between England and Australia
- 9. The side of the pitch which is to batsman's right (if right-handed), or left (if left-handed)
- 10. A ball from which no runs can be scored or wickets taken.
- 11. Used to mark the perimeter of the field. If the ball crosses or hits this, a boundary will be signalled
- 12. The ridge of stitching that holds the two halves of a ball together, and causes deviation off the pitch when the ball lands
Down
- 1. A ball that reaches the batsmen without bouncing. Above waist height it becomes a beamer
- 3. An over where no runs that are attributable to the bowler are scored (byes or leg-byes may be scored in this over, though, as these don't count against the bowler)
- 5. The area of the pitch behind the batsman's legs
- 6. A ball that does not bounce (usually accidently) and passes the batsman at or about head height. If aimed straight at the batsman by a fast bowler, this is a very dangerous delivery (and generally frowned on)
- 8. A delivery that pitches too far away from the batsman and so proves impossible to score off.
