Wide Yorker

A yorker pitched well outside off stump, denying the batter swinging room (Starc, Cummins in death overs).

The 'yorker' likely takes its name from Yorkshire bowlers of the 19th century known for pitching the ball at the batter's feet ('to york' a batter).

A staple death-overs weapon since the 1990s ODI era; Waqar Younis and Lasith Malinga made it iconic, and Jasprit Bumrah is its modern benchmark.

Intermediate — accessible technique with a steep accuracy curve in match conditions.

Used 2–3 times per death over against batters who have shuffled across to expose leg stump.

Bowling it too wide and conceding a wide call — practice the limit with a marked guide line.
