This is a general glossary of the terminology used in the sport of cricket. Where words in a sentence are also defined elsewhere in this article, they appear in italics. Certain aspects of cricket terminology are explained in more detail in cricket statistics and the naming of fielding positions is explained at fielding (cricket). Cricket is known for its rich terminology. Some terms are often thought to be arcane and humorous by those not familiar with the game.

板球（Cricket）是由两队各十一人进行对抗比赛的一项团队运动。板球运动拥有丰富的专业术语，一些术语在不熟悉该运动的人们看来，往往十分神秘或滑稽。 本条目是板球运动中使用的术语简表。如果某术语解释句子中的其他术语在本表中出现，它们将被引号括起。一些板球术语将在板球统计学和板球防守等里面详细介绍。 由于板球运动源于英格兰，本表以英文字母表排序。
* （All-rounder）：同時擅長擊球和投球的球員類型。
* 橫木（Bail）：三柱門頂上，卡在三根門柱間的橫條，在三柱門被外力擊中後即會掉落，以作為三柱門是否有被有效碰觸的證明。
* 擊球手（Batman）：擅長擊球而不擅投球的球員類型；也可以指在場上進行擊球的擊球員。
* （Bowler）：擅長投球但不擅擊球的球員類型；也可以指在場上進行投球的投球員。
* 失誤點（Bye）：球沒有被擊球員擊中而直接落到防守球員無法立即處理的地方，例如守門手讓球漏到身後，擊球方可依球滾動的距離被送分。
* 鴨蛋（Duck）：擊球手在一場比賽上場打擊一分未得就出局，即得分數為零鴨蛋。
* 帽子戲法（Hat-trick）：“投球手”（bowler）連續三次投出的球都取得了“三柱門”，不论这三次投球是在同一“轮”，或是分开在兩連續“輪”中，或在两连续“段”（spell）中两“轮”，甚至在两场连续的比赛中。
* 帽子戏法球（Hat-trick ball）：前两投都取得三柱门的一投。此时队长通常会设置极富攻击性的防守阵型，从而使投球手取得帽子戏法的可能性最大化。
* （Kilikiti）：薩摩亞規則的板球，球板較粗，擊球姿勢接近棒球，選手通常著南太平洋風的服飾；目前是薩摩亞的國球，在紐西蘭和吐瓦魯也很流行。
* 国王的对子（King pair或黄金对子，Golden pair）：在对抗赛或顶级赛等双局比赛中，两局都被第一个投球解决

板球（Cricket）是由两队各十一人进行对抗比赛的一项团队运动。板球运动拥有丰富的专业术语，一些术语在不熟悉该运动的人们看来，往往十分神秘或滑稽。 本条目是板球运动中使用的术语简表。如果某术语解释句子中的其他术语在本表中出现，它们将被引号括起。一些板球术语将在板球统计学和板球防守等里面详细介绍。 由于板球运动源于英格兰，本表以英文字母表排序。
* （All-rounder）：同時擅長擊球和投球的球員類型。
* 橫木（Bail）：三柱門頂上，卡在三根門柱間的橫條，在三柱門被外力擊中後即會掉落，以作為三柱門是否有被有效碰觸的證明。
* 擊球手（Batman）：擅長擊球而不擅投球的球員類型；也可以指在場上進行擊球的擊球員。
* （Bowler）：擅長投球但不擅擊球的球員類型；也可以指在場上進行投球的投球員。
* 失誤點（Bye）：球沒有被擊球員擊中而直接落到防守球員無法立即處理的地方，例如守門手讓球漏到身後，擊球方可依球滾動的距離被送分。
* 鴨蛋（Duck）：擊球手在一場比賽上場打擊一分未得就出局，即得分數為零鴨蛋。
* 帽子戲法（Hat-trick）：“投球手”（bowler）連續三次投出的球都取得了“三柱門”，不论这三次投球是在同一“轮”，或是分开在兩連續“輪”中，或在两连续“段”（spell）中两“轮”，甚至在两场连续的比赛中。
* 帽子戏法球（Hat-trick ball）：前两投都取得三柱门的一投。此时队长通常会设置极富攻击性的防守阵型，从而使投球手取得帽子戏法的可能性最大化。
* （Kilikiti）：薩摩亞規則的板球，球板較粗，擊球姿勢接近棒球，選手通常著南太平洋風的服飾；目前是薩摩亞的國球，在紐西蘭和吐瓦魯也很流行。
* 国王的对子（King pair或黄金对子，Golden pair）：在对抗赛或顶级赛等双局比赛中，两局都被第一个投球解决出局,而吞下两颗鸭蛋的击球手。
* 可可板球（Kwik cricket）：一种非正式的板球比赛形式，专门用来给儿童介绍板球运动。
* 缝线（Seam）：板球上的缝合线。
* 缝线投球（Seam bowling）：一种利用板球用球不平坦表面，尤其是凸起的缝线，使其弹在球道上后变向的投球方式。与“滾球式投球”（swing bowling）形成对比。
* 旋轉投球 (Spin bowling)：球速較慢，利用手腕和手指把球以東西方轉動。
* 門柱（Stump）：三柱門的主要構造，直立插入球場的泥土裡。
* 超級輪（Super Over）：從2020開始使用的延長賽制度，給予正規賽當中打成平手的兩隊決勝的機會，超級輪的比賽雙方會有6個球、3個擊球手、2個出局數、1個投球手，已經出局或投球數已滿的選手亦可出賽；這種延長賽也從2011年世界盃比賽開始運用於限50輪的單日賽，但在該種賽制尚未有實際需要使用的記錄。
* 滾球式投球（Swing bowling）: 板球是由兩個半邊縫起來，總有光滑和粗糙面，當空氣跟光滑面的流向比粗糙面快，從而令球的軌道偏移，但球本身不會從東西方旋轉。
* 对抗赛 （Test Match）：板球赛的一种形式,每场赛事通常进行四到五天,无限制投球轮数,而且可参与对抗赛的国家有资格上的限制,为最传统的板球赛形式。
* 2020（Twenty20）：板球赛的一种形式,每场比赛双方各只有一个击球局,限制投球数为20轮(即120球),过往不被认可为正规的板球赛形式,但已经被市场广大接受,风靡全球。
* （Wicketkeeper）：固定於防守時蹲或站在三柱門後方的球員類型，是唯一會戴手套防守的球員。

A shot has carried if the ball is hit in the air and reaches a fielder without touching the ground . If the ball touches the ground before reaching the fielder, it has not carried.

A group of cricketers, from which one or more teams are formed.

A low-trajectory delivery in which the ball bounces twice, or rolls along the ground, before reaching the batsman. A type of no ball.
rdf:langString
The non-striking batsman leaving their crease during the bowler's action, before the ball is released.

rdf:langString
A type of soft material hat, traditionally worn by fielders.

rdf:langString
a bowler who uses this type of delivery as their stock ball.

rdf:langString

rdf:langString
the number of dismissals which occur in a team's innings before a given batsman goes in to bat; a batsman batting at 'first drop' is batting at number three in the batting order, going in after one wicket has fallen.
rdf:langString
a shot which reaches the boundary rope. If the ball touches the ground before reaching the boundary, the shot scores four runs. If it does not touch the ground before reaching the rope, the shot scores six runs.
rdf:langString
The distance which a delivery bounces through to the wicketkeeper if the batsman does not play a shot. The wicketkeeper must position themselves at an appropriate distance behind the stumps for the carry, which depends on the hardness of the pitch, height of the bowler, the length they are bowling etc.

They have 'left their ground' if they have advanced down the pitch in the action of taking a shot or starting a run. 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.
rdf:langString
the area in the middle of the ground where the pitches are prepared.
rdf:langString
the rectangular surface in the centre of the field where most of the action takes place, usually made of earth or clay. It is 22 yards in length. Also known as the "deck", as used in the phrase "hit the deck", which is when a bowler makes the ball bounce more off the pitch.
rdf:langString
a percentage equal to the number of runs scored by a batsman divided by the number of balls faced.

rdf:langString
a medium pace delivery, neither fast nor slow, with no special variation.
rdf:langString

rdf:langString
an unmarked, loosely defined V-shaped area on the ground at which the batsman stands at the apex. The two sides of the "V" go through the mid-off and mid-on regions, similar to the fair area of a baseball field, or the area where fielders "on the drive" are placed. Most shots played into this region are straight-batted shots, which don't involve the risks associated with playing across the line.
rdf:langString
A shouted, normally single word, instruction from a batsman to their partner, indicating whether to attempt a run. Only one batsman makes a call, to avoid confusion that could lead to a run out. Responsibility for making the call is held by whichever batsman has the better view of the ball and can see whether any fielders are close to it. This is most often the striker for a shot in front of square, and the non-striker for a shot behind square. Common possible calls include yes, no, wait, push, one, two or three.
