is a particularly nasty variety of delivery often seen at the Common - particularly when the tide is coming in. Many of its more venomous characteristics have been mollified in the past few years by the good work of the Gt. Yarmouth Borough Council groundstaff - but it can still occasionally be seen. What happens is - the ball pitched just short of a length fails to bounce at all - stranding the unwary batsman on the back foot and resulting in an ominous clunk as the ball hits the wicket. Quite entertaining - if you happen to be bowling at the time!
