Yorker

In cricket, a yorker is a ball bowled (a delivery) which bounces by the batter's feet. This length makes it very challenging for a batter to play the ball.

When a batter assumes a normal stance, a yorker generally bounces on the cricket pitch on or near the batter's popping crease. A batter who advances down the pitch to strike the ball (typically to spin bowlers) may by so advancing cause the ball to pitch (or land) at or around their feet and may thus cause themself to be "yorked". A yorker is considered one of the most difficult deliveries to bowl in cricket.
