Supersub
Under experimental One-Day International rules played between July 2005 and February 2006, the supersub was a substitute player able to come on and replace any player at any point during the game, with the substitute able to take over the substituted players batting and bowling duties – as distinct from a traditional substitute, who can field but is not permitted to bat, bowl or keep wicket. Super Over
A method for breaking a tie used in some limited overs matches. Each team plays one more over with nominated batsmen (who may already have been dismissed in the main game), or until two wickets have been lost. The team that scores the most runs in their super over wins. The rules vary between competitions if the scores are still tied after the super over, but most commonly a boundary count is used.

Sweep
a shot played to a good length slow delivery. The batsman gets down on one knee and "sweeps" the ball to the leg side. Sweet spot
the small area on the face of the bat that gives maximum power for minimum effort when the ball is hit with it. Also known as the "middle" or "meat" of the bat. A shot that is struck with the sweet spot is referred to as being "well timed" (see timing).
Bat
The wooden implement which the batsman uses to hit the ball. Usually constructed in two pieces, the rectangular-sectioned blade and cylindrical handle, which are joined at the splice. Bat-pad
A fielder placed close to the batsman on the leg side to catch the ball if it hits the bat and pad (in either order), and rises to a catchable height. Also a defence against being given out lbw, that the ball may have hit the bat first, however indiscernible. Batsman
(also batting player, batter, bat, or batswoman) A player on the batting side, or a player whose speciality is batting, or one of the two members of the batting side who are currently at the crease. The Laws of Cricket specify that the term batsman applies regardless of the players gender; however some players and commentators prefer to use batting player, batter or batswoman (when appropriate) instead. Batting
The act and skill of defending ones wicket and scoring runs. Batting average
The average number of runs scored per innings by a batsman, calculated by dividing the batsmans total runs scored by the number of times the batsman was out. Batting collapse
When several batsmen are dismissed in rapid succession for very few runs. The terms top order collapse or middle order collapse may refer to batting collapses in a specific part of the batting order. Batting for a draw
Defensive batting in a timed match by a team with little chance of victory, who are instead attempting to salvage a draw.
