(i) Dolly catch: an easy catch taken by a fielder, where the ball comes slowly and straight to the fielder at a comfortable height. (ii) Gully: a fielding position on the off side, behind the batsman's wicket, between the slips and point, close to the batsman. (iii) Seam: the raised stitched line running around the middle of the cricket ball, which helps the bowler to swing or deviate the ball. (iv) Hook shot: a cross-batted shot played to a short-pitched, rising ball at head height, hit in the air towards the square-leg or fine-leg side. (v) Half-volley: a delivery that pitches close to the batsman, so that it can be hit just after it bounces.
