CRICKET JARGONS : "E"

Economical
A bowler, who forfeits a few runs from his over, i.e. has a low market rate.
Economy rate
The standard number of runs scored for every over in the bowler's spell.
Edge (or snick or nick)
A slight variation of the ball off the edge of the bat. Top, bottom, inside and outside edges indicate the four edges of the bat. The hypothetical four edges are owing to the bat being each vertical (inside/outside edge), or horizontal (top/bottom edge).

Eleven
One more name for one cricket squad, which is through of eleven players.
End
A vicinity of the ground honestly at the back of the stumps, used to allocate what finish a bowler is bowling from (e.g. the Pavilion End). The bowlers take spins delivering sporadic overs from the two ends of the pitch.
Expensive
A bowler, who grants a large amount of runs from his over, i.e. has a high economy charge.
Extra (also sundry) (England, Australia)
A run not accredited to any batsman; there are five forms: byes, leg byes, penalties, wides and no-balls. The first three kinds are called 'fielding' extras (i.e. the fielders are concluded to be at fault for their being approved) and the final two are called 'bowling' extras (the bowler being well thought-out to be at fault for their being accepted) which are integrated in the runs conceded by the bowler. Must a bowler forfeit fielding extras when s/he bowls an over but no other runs they are still calculated as having bowled a maiden.
