half-tracker

half-tracker (plural half-trackers)

1. (cricket) A ball bowled so as to pitch roughly half way down the wicket, ie. half-way between batsman and bowler. (From a slow bowler this is a poor delivery, likely to be hit to the boundary.)

     We'd got ourselves into a great position, and if I'd hit that half-tracker for six, we would've won the game.
