We all of us fall into the trap of using abbreviations for things and items that are quite common in the world we inhabit at work and even sometimes at home.  Cricket is no different and so we thought it would be a good idea if we introduced some of the abbreviations that are in common use.  If you know of any others do let us know and we’ll see about getting them added to the list.
