CRICKET JARGONS : "Q"

Queen Pair

A batsman who obtains out for zero runs off the second ball he faces in both innings of a two-innings game. However not a standard cricketing term, Geoffrey Boycott has used the word often adequate that it may be come across in cricket commentary.

Quick

Conventionally, a rapid bowler was one who accomplished his over in a short gap of time. In more recent times, it has been used as a synonym for a fast or pace bowler. (Absurdly, a fast bowler in the conventional sense was often also a slow bowler, that is, a bowler who conveyed slow deliveries. A fast or pace bowler was not often also a quick bowler in the usual sense, as he took a longer point to complete an over.)

Quota

The entire number of overs (maximum 10) agreed to a bowler in an ODI, or any restricted overs match. Normally total overs in the innings alienated by 5, rounded to next top integer.
