Question for Feb 4

X is a phrase originating from cricket. The visual provides a pictorial description of the origin of the phrase. The first recorded use of the phrase is commonly credited to Geoffrey Boycott whilst commentating on England's 1990 tour of the West Indies. The phrase is also the name, or part of the name, of several online cricket forums and at least two fanzine-type cricket publications.

The phrase has also been used in other sports commentary. For example in football it is commonly used to describe a cross or pass which is delivered into the area in front of the goalkeeper and behind the last line of defence.

Identify X.
