Yorkers
English city natives
A yorker is a cricket delivery that pitches directly at the batsman's feet, near the crease—difficult to hit because there's no room to swing.
The plural yorkers refers to multiple such deliveries: He bowled three consecutive yorkers to close out the over.
A well-executed yorker is prized in limited-overs cricket for preventing big hits.
