Well, I'm not one for using the latter phrase.I don't know why, but that recent phrase 'nip backer' really irks me. It's up with 'have a nice rest of your day'
What would you call a ball that seams in?

I'm going for 270. Mitchell rally.
By contrast, I've always found it unreasonably irritating when balls that move off the seam are described as "cutters", when they haven't been bowled as a cutter. It's just confusing.
"Ball that seams in" It doesn't exactly slip [nip?] off the tongue, or fit nicely into a sentence.You’ve answered it.

Lots of luck going our way. Or are we superior in all aspects?
