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. A
Across the line
A shot which is played with the bat moving lateral to the direction of motion of the ball. Used when the batsman is aiming square or behind square, but requires excellent timing. 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. 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. May result in the ball going to cow corner. Air
A delivery by a spin bowler on a higher trajectory than usual, typically phased as giving it some air. The term flight is a near synonym. Can be combined with top spin or back spin to deceive the batsman on the length of the delivery, or with off spin or leg spin to give the ball more time to drift.
Thanks to these pattern III models some specific experimental treatments have appearedThe model for primary progressive MS is the Theilers virus model. This model presents features not available in others, like microglial activation. Alternatives
Recently it has been found that CSF from MS patients can carry the disease to rodents, opening the door to an alternative model. References
