Natmeg en · NOUN
Etymology
Blend of Nat + nutmeg, named after Nat (Natalie) Sciver-Brunt, who popularized the shot. A nutmeg is a somewhat similar move in football.
Meanings
-
(slang) A shot where the batsman plays the ball between their own legs into the leg side.
Just as the World Cup did more to raise the profile of women's cricket than years of hard graft by those before it, the Natmeg elevated Sciver on to a platform almost overnight.
