beamer

beam·er [ bmər ] (plural beam·ers)


noun 
Definition:
 
cricket ball bowled at head height: in cricket, a fast ball that reaches the batsman at head height without bouncing. Beamers usually result from the ball slipping out of the bowler's hand, and to bowl one deliberately is generally considered dangerous and unsporting.

[Mid-19th century. Origin ?]
