Toe-crushers

Toecrushers is an alternative name for yorker deliveries (usually inswinging ones) in cricket. This term was probably first used by TV commentators^[1] in early 1990s to describe the frequent inswinging yorkers bowled by Pakistani fast bowlers Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. Younis^[2] has also been called the toe-crusher^[3] due to his iconic late in-swinging yorkers.

Toe crushers are said to be much more difficult to play as the ball nips in just before it lands giving it a higher chance for the batsman to miss and get bowled while trying to defend or hit it.
