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.
Cow shot
a hard shot, usually in the air, across the line of a full-pitched ball, aiming to hit the ball over the boundary at cow corner, with very little regard to proper accepted technique. A type of slog. Crease
a straight whitewash line painted on the pitch near the stumps. At each end of the pitch there are four creases: the popping crease, bowling crease and two return creases. The word crease without further qualification refers either to the popping crease or to the region beyond it. The creases are used to adjudge whether a run has been completed, a batsman is run out, the delivery is a no-ball or wide etc. Cricketer
a person who plays cricket. Cross-bat shot
a conventional shot played with the bat parallel with the ground, such as a cut or a pull. Also known as a horizontal-bat shot, it is generally considered a potentially risky option for batsmen. Cross the rope
To cross over the boundary rope. Often said of batsmen who are beginning or resuming an innings, players entering or exiting the field to begin a session of play, fielders attempting catches, and the ball when the batter scores a boundary

Cut
a shot played square on the off side to a short-pitched delivery wide of off stump. So called because the batsman makes a "cutting" motion as they play the shot. Cutter
a break delivery bowled by a fast or medium-pace bowler with similar action to a spin bowler, but at a faster pace.
