JAFFA

An unplayable ball. Of course, the word unplayable is one of those sporting expressions that is used more often than it should be, like ‘catastrophe’, ‘incredible’, and ‘Sue Barker’. But it helps convey a sense that each day of sport is more exciting than the last, and is thus a favourite with commentators and journalists, who have a vested interest in making the public believe that this really is the case. Jaffa is an ancient city in Israel which grows the large, oval-shaped oranges whose juiciness might help explain why mouth-watering deliveries are so-called. The reference is lost on the locals.
