Placement
the ball when it is hit such that it bisects or trisects the fielders placed on the field. The ball usually ends up being a four. Platinum duck
a player dismissed without even facing a ball – most likely by being run out as the non-striker. Also sometimes referred to as a Diamond Duck. Play and miss
when a batsman aims to hit the ball with the bat but does not make contact; a swing and a miss

Playing on
for the batsman to hit the ball with their bat but only succeed in diverting it onto the stumps. The batsman is thus out bowled. Also known as "dragging on" or "chopping on"

Playing time
the set of rules specifying when the match begins, which intervals and/or drinks breaks occur, how long play can continue etc. These vary widely depending on the type of match (a Twenty20 lasts less than 3 hours, whilst a Test match takes up to five days) and may be adjusted by prior agreement to account for local climate, the specific competition etc. Plumb
of a dismissal by LBW: indisputable, obvious. Of a wicket, giving true bounce. Point
A fielding position square of the batsmans off side. Point of release
the position of the bowler at the moment when the ball is released. Pongo
(used primarily by UK county players) a very high volume of run-making, or batting assault. Popper
a ball that rises sharply from the pitch when bowled (pops up).
Isoprenaline, or isoproterenol (brand name: Isoprenaline Macure), is a medication used for the treatment of bradycardia (slow heart rate), heart block, and rarely for asthma. It is a non-selective β adrenoceptor agonist  that is the isopropylamine analog of epinephrine (adrenaline). Medical uses
It is used to treat heart block and episodes of Adams–Stokes syndrome that are not caused by ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, in emergencies for cardiac arrest until electric shock can be administered, for bronchospasm occurring during anesthesia, and as an adjunct in the treatment of hypovolemic shock, septic shock, low cardiac output (hypoperfusion) states, congestive heart failure, and cardiogenic shock.Historically, it was used to treat asthma via metered aerosol or nebulizing devices; it was also available in sublingual, oral, intravenous, and intramuscular formulations. The U.S. National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Expert Panel recommends against its use as a nebulizer for acute bronchoconstriction.Isoprenaline can also ameliorate the impairment of intestinal stem cells mediated by β2-adrenoreceptors after chemotherapy. Contraindications
It should not be used in people with tachyarrhythmias, tachycardia or heart block caused by digitalis poisoning, ventricular arrhythmias which require inotropic therapy, or with angina. Adverse effects
Adverse effects of isoprenaline include nervousness, headache, dizziness, nausea, visual blurring, tachycardia, palpitations, angina, Adams-Stokes attacks, pulmonary edema, hypertension, hypotension, ventricular arrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, difficulty breathing, sweating, mild tremors, weakness, flushing, and pallor. Isoproterenol has been reported to cause insulin resistance leading to diabetic ketoacidosis. Pharmacology
The adverse effects of isoprenaline are also related to the drugs cardiovascular effects.
