Silly Mid On sits somewhere between courage and questionable life choices. It’s the fielder positioned just a few paces in front of the batter on the leg side — close enough to smell linseed oil and regret.
Cricket Glossary
Cow Corner
In cricketing cartography, cow corner is that wide, sun-baked patch of turf between deep midwicket and long-on — a region simultaneously despised by purists and adored by power-hitters.
Off Side
The off side in cricket refers to an area of the field — not to be confused with offside, that joyless rule from other ball sports, nor officide, the wilful murdering of business equipment after a printer jam in the third consecutive over of a Monday.
No Ball
A no ball is cricket’s original sin — the umpire’s small declaration that something, somewhere, has gone fractionally wrong with civilisation.
