Dipper
a delivery bowled which curves into or away from the batsman before pitching. Dismissal
Take the wicket of one of the batsmen, so they must cease batting for the remainder of the innings. A batsman who has been dismissed is referred to as out; if ten members of the batting side are dismissed (or retire), the team are all out. There are ten possible methods, but the vast majority of dismissals are one of five types: caught, bowled, leg before wicket, run out and stumped. Direct hit
a throw from a fieldsman that directly strikes and puts down a wicket (without first being caught by a fieldsman standing at the stumps). Occurs when attempting a run out. D/L

Doctored pitch
a cricket pitch which has been intentionally prepared in a specific manner in order to gain a competitive advantage for the home team, such as creating a dry, crumbly surface that particularly favours the home teams spin bowlers, or a firm, grassy surface which would favour fast bowlers, or any surface which exacerbates perceived weaknesses in the visiting teams batting. Whilst widely considered unsporting, the practice is comparatively common and is (within reason) legal, but the term is always used pejoratively. Dolly
a very easy catch. Donkey drop
A ball with a very high trajectory prior to bouncing. Doosra
A delivery by a finger spin bowler which turns in the opposite direction to the stock delivery. The word is Hindustani for second or other.
