FULL GLOSSARY →GLOSSARY OF CRICKET TERMS
Z
Zooter or Zoota
a variation of the flipper bowled by a leg-break bowler. Typically, 'Zoots' along the ground without much bounce. This ball is possibly a myth made up by Shane Warne to create confusion amongst opposition sides.
#
(The) Yips
The yips are occasionally experienced by bowlers suffering from a loss of confidence. A psychological condition whereby the bowler is unable to sufficiently relax when delivering the ball – often holding the ball too long before release, losing flight, turn and accuracy in the process. Bowlers have been known to suffer from the yips for as little as a few overs, up to the course of an entire season or more.
Y
Yes
a call by a batter to their partner, indicating both should attempt a run. cf. no and wait. Variants of the yes call include push, two and three.
W
Wrong 'un
another name for a googly; most common in Australia.
W
Wrong footed
when the batter is initially moving either back or forward to a delivery and then has to suddenly change which foot they use (back or front), they are said to have been wrong-footed. Usually applies to spin bowling.
W
Wrong foot
when the bowling foot is the front foot the delivery is said to be bowled off the wrong foot. Such a bowler is said to bowl off the wrong foot.
