|
Inning(s)
|
|
The duration of time that a side is batting. It could last anywhere between a few minutes (the Hampshire side was once wiped out in 53 balls) or several days if you are just unable to get Brian Lara out! Thank God for one-day internationals. At least, in that format, it gets over in half a day.
In baseball, where things have to be different from cricket, each side plays a half-inning!

Innings victory
|
|
In a full two-innings game, a victory where one team scores more runs in a single innings than its opponent does in two. Happens regularly when England is playing. Could also happen when the bookies are heavily involved.

Inswing

Isolated
|
What the batsmen feels as the umpire begins to lift his finger after an especially loud appeal.
A more unfortunate isolation is that of Mohd Azharuddin! A big loss for cricket.
