A cricketer who plays for pleasure, not pay.
Some recent sources regard a wicket-keeper/batter as another type of all-rounder, but this usage is not universal. All-rounder Traditionally, a player adept at both batting and bowling. The term is a slight misnomer, as there is always one batter left not out. It also applies when, through a combination of ten dismissals and players who have retired or are absent hurt, the team has only one able batter remaining. All out An innings which has ended due to the batting side running out of wickets, usually because ten of the eleven batters have been dismissed. Can be combined with top spin or back spin to deceive the batter on the length of the delivery, or with off spin or leg spin to give the ball more time to drift. Air A delivery by a spin bowler on a higher trajectory than usual, typically phrased as 'giving it some air'. May result in the ball going to cow corner. Action See bowling action Agricultural shot A powerful slog shot across the line (resembling a scything motion), played with little technique or footwork, particularly one that damages the pitch with the bat. Considered risky, as mistiming the shot can result in a leading edge, being strangled, or missing the ball entirely and being out bowled or leg before wicket. Used when the batter is aiming square or behind square, but requires excellent timing. A Across the line A shot which is played with the bat moving lateral to the direction of motion of the ball.
