Innings - used to describe
a team's turn at batting and
an individual batsman's
time batting. Winning 'by an innings' means one team has scored more in their only batting turn than the other
has in two complete
efforts.
Inswing - a ball curving in the air from left to right (to a right-handed batsman). The greatest modern exponent
was Imran Khan.
In the V - shots played in a narrow V shaped area either side of the bowler, with the batsman being the base of the V. In other words, straight batting.
