Most of the time, many of us don't understand the slang for cricket used by the experts. In order for people to understand, we have made it simpler for our audience. Cricket Slang made it simple and easy to understand. In the series of the Cricket Slang Class, this is Part 3
We’re shortly coming up with a series of Snippets, called Short Singles. Stay tuned. You shall need the appended Glossary to enjoy this series. #Cricketslangclass #cricketslang #cricketterminologies #cricketclass
Just Like that: A Cricketing Terms Glossary:
Cow corner – A fielder at deep midwicket for an agricultural mow across
the line. A useful position for tail-end sloggers and crazy-eyed village
cricketers.

Minefield – A terror track for the batsman and a boon for the bowlers. Less common nowadays with covered pitches and lucrative television rights.

Burner – Rhyming slang for a ‘turner’ or pitch that takes spin. (Also known
as a ‘Bunsen’ for obvious reasons.)

Chinaman – A ball from a left-arm unorthodox wrist-spinner, who tweaks
the ball from off leg to right-handers. This technique mirrors that of the
right-arm leg-spinner. The term was first used pejoratively by Englishman
Walter Robbins in a Test match against the West Indies in 1933, when he
was beaten in flight by Puss Achong, who was of Chinese origin. Robbins
trudged back, grumbling: ‘Fancy being done by a bloody Chinaman!’

Googly – A ball that is spun from off to leg to right-handers, but without
using an off-spinner’s action. A surprise variation, but it often ends up in
the stands if dragged short or the batsman picks it. Also known as a ‘wrongun’ or ‘Bosie’ after its inventor, Bernard Bosanquet.

Doosra – Literally the ‘other’ or ‘second’ one in Hindi, it is the off-spinner’s
version of the wrong-un, in that it spins like a leggie, but with an off-break
action. Popularised by Saqlain Mushtaq, although probably invented by Sonny Ramadhin, its use sometimes leads to accusations of chucking.
