A cricket ball bowled as if to break one way that actually breaks in the opposite way.
I do not know much about cricket. I have seen it played at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, but saying I saw it played means I was walking past the field but did not stay to watch the match.
A friend who has since moved from New York used to play cricket somewhere up in the Bronx.
I mean nothing biased by this, but somehow my perception of cricket has always been that it is a sport for the well-to-do class. I do not know if that is true of cricket, nor do I know if I got that impression from anything in particular, but the fact that matches sometimes take days to finish must have implied to me that the competitors lived lives of leisure to be able to play games for days at a stretch.
