Mostly seen in the latter stages of major limited-overs tournaments. Rest day
A non-playing day in the middle of a multiple day game. These were once common, but are seldom seen in the modern era. Result
The final outcome of a match. Possible results are a win/loss, a draw, or a tie. Alternatively, rain delays may lead to an outcome of no result, or a wash out may lead to the match being abandoned before it begins. Retire
for a batsman to voluntarily leave the field during their innings, usually because of injury. A player who retires through injury/illness ("retired hurt/ill") may return in the same innings at the fall of a wicket, and continue where they left off. A player who is uninjured ("retired out") may return only with the opposing captains consent. Reverse sweep
a right-handed batsman sweeping the ball like a left-handed batsman and vice versa. Reverse swing
the art of swinging the ball contrary to how a conventionally swung ball moves in the air; i.e. movement away from the rough side. Many theories as to how this may occur. Usually happens with an older ball than conventional swing, but not always, atmospheric conditions and bowler skill also being important factors. It has been espoused that once the rough side becomes extremely rough a similar effect to that of a dimpled golf ball may cause it to move more quickly through the air than the shiny side of the ball.
