yorker. But, with batsman happy to move around the crease, it's now not used! It's madness to me, the stumps don't move do they Jim. I watched Gough, in his hey day. Good lord, that in swinging end of overs yorker, nobody could get it away. I think what's changed is bowlers being so so worried if they don't get it right, it's going to fly. Yet, look back to the Gough era, that would happened, just he was good at it. I wonder if so much of this is bully batting and not teaching bowlers to trust their own judgement in ODI's. You can't tell me, whatever the bat does (and I'm one) sticking the leg out, moving around - a well placed yorker, you're a gonna!!!!
