What is Over the wicket?
And what is Round the wicket? Over the wicket - Bowling arm closer to the stumps Round the wicket - Bowling arm away from the stumps Both terms apply equally to both left-arm and right-arm bowlers. How to remember which is which? Do you have a good mnemonic/analogy? Ron Knight: When the ball is delivered over the wicket the hand delivering the ball is much more above (over) the wicket than when delivering from the other side, when the hand delivering the ball is more round the side. I offer this not as a mnemonic but as my understanding of the actual reason for the terms.
