  • bilby commented on the word hit the ball twice

    Cricket jargon - one of the ways in which a batsman can be given out. It occurs when the ball is in play, strikes any part of the batsman or his bat and, before the ball has been touched by a fielder, he willfully strikes it again with his bat or person.
