What Is The Definition Of Bouncer In Cricket?
1. A short-pitched delivery from the bowler that causes the ball to rise up near the batsman’s head. Because the ball bounces off the pitch close to the bowler, it allows more time for the bounce to climb high before reaching the batsman. This type of delivery usually comes from a fast bowler, and it is often a strategic move to push the batsman onto his back foot.
