A shot has carried if the ball is hit in the air and reaches a fielder without touching the ground . If the ball touches the ground before reaching the fielder, it has not carried. Slow-motion television replays are sometimes required to determine whether the ball carried or bounced a few inches in front of the fielder. (en)
A group of cricketers, from which one or more teams are formed. (en)
an imaginary line extending the crease to the boundary on the leg side; it is illegal to have more than two fielders behind square. (en)

a batsman who is in and has not yet been dismissed, particularly when play has ceased. (en)
Turn and touch the bat onto the ground surface behind the popping crease after the batsman has left the crease in the action of taking a shot or starting a run; to run the bat in the process of completing a run in order to be safe. (en)
a result in timed matches where the team batting last are not all out, but fail to exceed their opponent's total. Not to be confused with a tie, in which the side batting last is all out or run out of overs with the scores level. (en)
the call of the umpire when turning down an appeal for a wicket. (en)
Batting gloves, hand protection worn by a batsman as part of their kit. Padding is mostly on the outside, to defend against impacts by the ball while gripping the handle of the bat. (en)
the accidental "dropping" of a ball that was initially caught by a fielder, thus denying the dismissal of the batsman; when such an event occurs, the batsman is said to have been "dropped". (en)
A higher order batsman who is out frequently to the same bowler is referred to as that bowler's rabbit or bunny. (en)

The spherical object which the bowler propels towards the batsman, who may attempt to hit it with the bat. Constructed of leather stiched around a cork core. A red ball is used in timed matches , whilst a white ball is used in limited overs cricket. (en)
A low-trajectory delivery in which the ball bounces twice, or rolls along the ground, before reaching the batsman. A type of no ball. (en)
The non-striking batsman leaving their crease during the bowler's action, before the ball is released.

A type of soft material hat, traditionally worn by fielders. (en)
A batsman is side on if their hips and shoulders are facing at ninety degrees to the bowler. (en)

The player who is currently bowling. (en)
a bowler who uses this type of delivery as their stock ball. (en)

The Hundred, a domestic competition in England that uses the 100-ball format, introduced in 2021. (en)

The two sides of the "V" go through the mid-off and mid-on regions, similar to the fair area of a baseball field, or the area where fielders "on the drive" are placed. Most shots played into this region are straight-batted shots, which don't involve the risks associated with playing across the line. (en)
A shouted, normally single word, instruction from a batsman to their partner, indicating whether to attempt a run. Only one batsman makes a call, to avoid confusion that could lead to a run out. Responsibility for making the call is held by whichever batsman has the better view of the ball and can see whether any fielders are close to it. This is most often the striker for a shot in front of square, and the non-striker for a shot behind square. Common possible calls include yes, no, wait, push, one, two or three. (en)
a delivery that is easy to hit, but difficult to score quickly from. (en)

the word sometimes spoken while raising the index finger by the umpire when answering an appeal for a wicket in the affirmative. (en)
A bowler whose chest and hips are aligned towards the batsman at the instant of back foot contact. (en)

This is a general glossary of the terminology used in the sport of cricket. Where words in a sentence are also defined elsewhere in this article, they appear in italics. Certain aspects of cricket terminology are explained in more detail in cricket statistics and the naming of fielding positions is explained at fielding (cricket). Cricket is known for its rich terminology. Some terms are often thought to be arcane and humorous by those not familiar with the game. (en)
Le cricket est un sport qui dispose d'un lexique complexe : les termes techniques et expressions qu'on y emploie de manière spécifique sont nombreux. (fr)
板球（Cricket）是由两队各十一人进行对抗比赛的一项团队运动。板球运动拥有丰富的专业术语，一些术语在不熟悉该运动的人们看来，往往十分神秘或滑稽。本条目是板球运动中使用的术语简表。如果某术语解释句子中的其他术语在本表中出现，它们将被引号括起。一些板球术语将在板球统计学和板球防守等里面详细介绍。由于板球运动源于英格兰，本表以英文字母表排序。 * （All-rounder）：同時擅長擊球和投球的球員類型。 * 橫木（Bail）：三柱門頂上，卡在三根門柱間的橫條，在三柱門被外力擊中後即會掉落，以作為三柱門是否有被有效碰觸的證明。 * 擊球手（Batman）：擅長擊球而不擅投球的球員類型；也可以指在場上進行擊球的擊球員。 * （Bowler）：擅長投球但不擅擊球的球員類型；也可以指在場上進行投球的投球員。 * 失誤點（Bye）：球沒有被擊球員擊中而直接落到防守球員無法立即處理的地方，例如守門手讓球漏到身後，擊球方可依球滾動的距離被送分。 * 鴨蛋（Duck）：擊球手在一場比賽上場打擊一分未得就出局，即得分數為零鴨蛋。 * 帽子戲法（Hat-trick）：“投球手”（bowler）連續三次投出的球都取得了“三柱門”，不论这三次投球是在同一“轮”，或是分开在兩連續“輪”中，或在两连续“段”（spell）中两“轮”，甚至在两场连续的比赛中。 * 帽子戏法球（Hat-trick ball）：前两投都取得三柱门的一投。此时队长通常会设置极富攻击性的防守阵型，从而使投球手取得帽子戏法的可能性最大化。 * （Kilikiti）：薩摩亞規則的板球，球板較粗，擊球姿勢接近棒球，選手通常著南太平洋風的服飾；目前是薩摩亞的國球，在紐西蘭和吐瓦魯也很流行。 * 国王的对子（King pair或黄金对子，Golden pair）：在对抗赛或顶级赛等双局比赛中，两局都被第一个投球解决 (zh)
