The 50 Top Cricket Euphemistic Quotes

⊆ 12:01 by CommuniKation | .

Cricket is almost not cricket as Euphemisms form part of the games long history from its very name. Is it from Croquet the fench game or somewhere else?

Enjoy the following top 50 Euphemisms if I have missed some out please add them as comments.

"Streak plays a semi-agricultural carve outside the off stump" (Henry - ZimVEng 22jul00)
"...plenty of movement in the air, rather sticky as well..."
"He would be wise to hold it across the seam for an over or so" (Richie Benaux, scathingly)
"Healey's there, scampering out from behind the stumps" (JA - Ashes 5jan99)
"It's holed out down at long leg"
"...if you can get somebody out before they get in..." (Boycott)
"Patel took it down on his knees in front of slip" (JA, R4, Eng-Ind 5day, 11aug02)
"It's awfully uncomfortable to have McGrath up your sleeve, isn't it" (Henry. Of course.)

Some things can NEVER be said in cricket, particularly criticism of the umpires

(HB:) "...and they're on 98..." (Bill:) "99. The scoreboard's stuck." [=the Lords scorers are not keeping up properly]

a dry over with no runs

Warney bowls two maiden's over, and Warney scores 2 then gets caught out...

lbw decision was very close [=wrong] / extremely close [=badly wrong]

"a very close call indeed" or "very close" it was out but the umpire got it wrong

"fairly ordinary shot" (a poor one)

"they're allowing Umpire Buckner to loosen up with few arm exercises" - India bowled 3 wide balls in an over (?, R4, Eng-Ind 1dy, 9jul02)

"rested" = modern term for "dropped from side" (CMJ, R4, Eng-Ind 1day, 9jul02)

I AM a cricket lover; I live, sleep, think and dream cricket.

The phrase ‘transitional period’ – that hollow euphemism for ‘we’re losing’

planes do you use the little strip next to the Cricket ground on top of the hill?

Deferred Success of the English Cricket Team

Cricket in need of a 'healing touch'

“Strength in Depth” is a euphemism for “waste of talent”

To bring "new audiences" is a euphemism for bringing new consumers.

"leg theory", a euphemism that served to mislead the English authorities on exactly what was happening on the other side of the world in that pre-television era.

Intensity. Now there is a carefully chosen euphemism. What it stands for is a kind of cricket played on the backs, in the faces and up the noses of the opposition.

"to play cricket" usually in the negative. "That's not playing cricket" - not being fair, with an implication to unsportsmanlike

Aeuphemism for what we used to call "tip-and-run". This so-called "pyjama" cricket may be ideally suited for TV and for those with a limited attention span and knowledge of the game.

Considering the high level of competence shown by most cons these days, you'd best throw in the cost of a new cricket bat, because it's going to get broken

One is trying to play cricket and the other is not."



Sticky wicket generally means "A difficult situation"

at best, second-guessing the existence of such a policy

He can at best speak for himself. ... It is evident now from these two episodes as to who rules the Indian cricket from behind thro Pawar.
