cricketing jargon

Certainly! In cricket, the "bat" is used by the batter to hit the ball, aiming to score runs. The "ball" is bowled by the bowler to dismiss the batter or prevent scoring. The "wicket" refers to the stumps and bails behind the batter; hitting them can lead to getting out. "Runs" are points scored by running between the wickets or hitting boundaries—four or six runs. "Overs" are sets of six balls bowled from one end. "Dismissal" means getting out, such as being caught, bowled, or run out. These terms frame the core gameplay of cricket.
