In
cricket, a Yorker is a
delivery where the
cricket ball bounces on the
cricket pitch on or near the
batsman's
popping crease. Since a batsman in a normal stance has his feet on the popping crease, this means the
ball is bouncing very near his feet, which makes the ball difficult to hit with the
bat. This is usually the 'ideal' place for a bowler to bowl, yet, because this is close to the batsmen, many bowlers mistime the release of the ball and bowl a full toss instead.
