What Is The Definition Of Flipper In Cricket?
1. A delivery in which the wrist is used to give the ball back-spin (also known as under-spin). This causes the ball to bounce lower than normal, which makes the delivery more difficult for the batsman to hit cleanly. In many cases, the batsman is dismissed bowled or leg before wicket after this delivery. The invention of this delivery is credited to Clarrie Grimmett, an Australian bowler.
