When the fielder stands outside the 30-yard circle, he is called a Long Stop. Shoulder Arms
Rather than risk playing the ball, the batsman lifts the bat high above their shoulder to keep their bat and hand out of harms way. Side on
1. A side on bowler has back foot, chest and hips aligned towards the batsman at the instant of back foot contact. 2. A batsman is side on if their hips and shoulders are facing at ninety degrees to the bowler. Sight screen
a large board placed behind the bowler, beyond the boundary, used to provide contrast to the ball, thereby aiding the striker in seeing the ball when it is delivered. Typically, coloured white to contrast a red ball, or black to contrast a white ball. Silly
a modifier to the names of some fielding positions to denote that they are unusually close to the batsman, most often silly mid-off, silly mid-on, silly midwicket and silly point. Single
a run scored by the batsmen physically running once only between the wickets. Single wicket
A one-vs-one version of cricket, in which the two competitors bat and bowl against each other, while neutral participants field for both. Each inning consists of a single wicket and a limited number of overs (usually two or three). Currently only played informally and rarely seen, the format was once highly popular and played professionally, particularly from 1750-1850. Sitter
a very easy catch. A fielder who misses such a catch is said to have dropped a sitter.
Cricket helmets consist of a hard padded hemisphere protecting the brain case, a front brim, and a large metal grill over the face and jaw, with gaps smaller than the diameter of the ball. High score
the most runs scored by the batsman in a single innings. see also Best bowling

Hip Clip
a trademark shot of Brian Lara involving a flick of the wrist to whip a ball, at hip height, at right angles past the fielder at square leg. Hit the ball twice
A batsman is out hit the ball twice if having struck the ball once with their person or bat, they strike the ball a second time with their person or bat (but not a hand not holding the bat). A batsman is not out if the second strike was for the sole purpose of guarding their wicket. A batsman may not strike the ball a second time to prevent it from being caught (out obstructing the field). Hit wicket
a batsman getting out by dislodging the bails of the wicket behind them either with their bat or body as they try to play the ball or set off for a run. Hoick
an unrefined shot played to the leg side usually across the line of the ball. Hold up an end
A batsman who is intentionally restricting their scoring and concentrating on defence while their batting partner scores runs at the other end; or, a bowler who is bowling defensively to restrict runs at their end while their bowling partner tries to take wickets at the other end.
