The batsman has made their ground if able to ground their bat or touch the surface behind the popping crease with a part of the body before a fielder can break the wicket for a run out. Groundsman (or curator)
a person responsible for maintaining the cricket field and preparing the pitch. Grubber
a delivery that barely bounces. (Taking) guard
the batsman aligning their bat according with a stump (or between stumps) chosen behind them. Typically, the batsman marks the position of the bat on the pitch. The marking(s) give the batter an idea as to where they are standing in relation to the stumps. Gully
a close fielder near the slip fielders, at an angle to a line between the two sets of stumps of about 100 to 140 degrees. H
Hack
a batsman of generally low skill with an excessively aggressive approach to batting, commonly with a preference towards lofted cross bat shots. A poor defensive stance and lack of defensive strokes are also features of a hack. Can also be used for one particular stroke

Half century
an individual score of 50 runs or more, but less than 100 (century). Reasonably significant landmark for a batsman and more so for the lower order and the tail-enders. Half-tracker
another term for a long hop. So called because the ball roughly bounces halfway down the pitch. Half-volley
a delivery that bounces just short of the block hole. Usually easy to drive or glance away.
Congenital dermal sinus is an uncommon form of cranial or spinal dysraphism. It occurs in 1 in 2500 live births. It occurs as a dermal indentation, found along the midline of the neuraxis and often presents alongside infection and neurological deficit. Congenital dermal sinus form due to a focal failure of dysjunction between the cutaneous ectoderm and neuroectoderm during the third to eight week of gestation. Typically observed in the lumbar and lumbosacral region, congenital dermal sinus can occur from the nasion and occiput region down.Early diagnosis and treatment is crucial for cases of congenital dermal sinus. It ensures that neurological condition does not degrade and prevents infection. Diagnosis can be confirmed through the use of advanced neuroimaging to observe the tract and associated lesions. Embryogenesis
During normal development, cutaneous ectoderm separates from neuroectoderm to allow for the insertion of mesoderm. That is, the skin separates from the tissue of the spinal cord to allow proper formation of the vertebral column. In cases of congenital dermal sinus there is a failure in this process, resulting in formation of a persistent connection between the skin and neural tissue. This manifests as a tract extending from the surface of the skin to the spinal cord lined with stratified squamous epithelium, surrounded by dermal and neurological tissue. The tract may terminate in the deep fascia, or even make contact with neural elements.
