New cricketing terms

[hang on]

The Siddle noball, as a couple of wags - one not exactly known for setting the benchmark in such matters, if truth be told - on the Australia-South Africa series thread, mentioned, was a Mazhar. Or maybe an Amir.

What about some new terms based on those who best epitomise certain cricketing actions, behaviour, feats or idiosyncracies?

For starters, celebrating without appealing could be a Broad.

Dropping sitters behind the wicket a Kamran.

Playing way past one's sell by date a Dev.

Forgeting about the previous ball a Sehwag.

Being oblivious to the match situation a Kallis.

You get the idea...

Taking about 150 balls to reach 50, and then scoring the next 50 in about 40 balls maybe called a Sidhu.

Mitch Johnson, noun

A terrible, short wide down the leg side, that inexplicably gets counted as four byes.

"That was such a Mitch Johnson from Ishant, Dhoni must be furious."

To (Ian) Bell, verb

To look brilliant for 34 in an ODI, before tamely throwing one's wicket away

"Can't believe he Ian Belled against the part timers like that, such a waste"

"Well Hafeez has started well, but we all know he's going to Bell it up in a minute."

Dravid (verb):
to play an excellent backfoot defensive shot to a short and wide delivery that could have been left easily

Example: Steyn strikes again! I don't see any reason why Raina tried to dravid that outswinging delivery when clearly he's not competent enough! Don't try to dravid unless you can dravid, I say!
