Walking in
fielders will, unless fielding close in, usually "walk in" a few paces just before the bowler bowls in order to be alert if ball is hit in their direction. Walking wicket
a very poor batsman, particularly tail-end batsmen, who is usually a specialist bowler. Wash out
a cricket match, or a specific day of a cricket match, which is abandoned with either no play or very little play due to rain. Wearing wicket
On a turf pitch, typically consisting of dry/dead grass on the top, the soil can be loosened because of the players, stepping on it during play, and rough, abrasive patches can form. This means that as the pitch wears, or becomes worn, balls that land in these rough areas will grip the surface more and turn more drastically, thereby becoming more helpful to spin bowling. Uneven bounce can also result. Whites
predominantly white or cream coloured clothing worn by players during matches with a red ball. Usually consists of long trousers, a short- or long-sleeved polo shirt, and optionally a knitted jumper or sleeveless sweater. Professional limited overs matches with a white ball instead use coloured uniforms, known as pyjamas. Wicket
1.  a set of stumps and bails;
2.  the pitch; or
3.  the dismissal of a batsman. Numerous phrases exist using this definition, such as "throwing away ones wicket", which means to get out too easily, or "valuing/putting a price on ones wicket", which is largely the opposite

Wicket-keeper 
the player on the fielding side who stands immediately behind the batting end wicket.
3. (verb) Touch the ball with a batting glove while the glove is in contact with the bat. In that circumstance, the rules consider the glove to be part of the bat, so the batsman can score runs or be caught if they glove the ball. Glovemanship (also glovework)
the skills of wicketkeeping, used when either praising or criticising a performance

Golden duck
a dismissal for nought (zero), from the first ball faced in a batsmans innings. ( cf Duck, Diamond duck, Platinum duck )

Golden pair (also King pair)
a dismissal for nought (zero) runs off the first ball faced in each of a batsmans two innings of a two-innings match (see this list of Pairs in test and first-class cricket). Good length
the ideal place for a stock delivery to pitch in its trajectory from the bowler to the batsman. It makes the batsman uncertain whether to play a front-foot or back-foot shot. A good length differs from bowler to bowler, based on the type, height and speed of the bowler. The "good length" is not necessarily the best length to bowl, as a bowler may wish to bowl short or full to exploit a batsmans weaknesses. Googly (also wrongun or bosie)
a deceptive spinning delivery by a wrist spin bowler which spins the opposite direction to the stock delivery. For a right-hander bowler and a right-handed batsman, a googly will turn from the off side to the leg side. Developed by Bosanquet around 1900. Gouging
causing intentional damage to the pitch or ball.
