Slip
a close fielder behind the batsman, next to the wicket-keeper on the off-side. Also ("in the slips", "at first slip") the positions occupied by such fielders. Commonly there will be two or three slips in an attacking field (although there is no limit and a captain may use more), and one or none in a defensive field. A specialist slip fieldsman may be known as a slipper. Slip catching cradle
a large piece of training equipment, used for practising the quick-reaction catches needed by a fielder in the slips. Slog
a powerful shot, in which the batsman hits the ball high and long in an attempt to reach the boundary. Regarded as a risky shot, it will often result in a six or a four, but also has a high chance of getting out. Used by batsmen with more strength than skill, or who need to score runs quickly (see death overs). Slog overs
see death overs. Slog sweep
a type of slog in which a sweep shot hit hard and in the air, over the same boundary as for a hook. Used exclusively against spin bowlers. Slower ball
a medium-pace delivery bowled by a fast bowler. Designed to deceive the batsman into playing the ball too early and skying it to a fielder. Has several variations. Slow left armer
a left-arm, orthodox, finger spin bowler; the left-handed equivalent of an off spinner (see off spin). Snick (also edge)
a slight deviation of the ball off the edge of the bat.
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.
