purtroppo sono termini tecnici, quandi un po' difficili da spiegare.

googly: A pitch which is thrown with baseball's "screwball" grip but reverse finger spin... to look like a leg-break (see definition) that should move across and AWAY from the batter, but actually moves in the OPPOSITE direction, i.e. INTO the batter like an off-break (see definition), after it bounces. (also see definition of "chinaman").

yorker: An "overpitch" delivery which is thrown so far forward as to bounce right under the batter's bat, and beat him.

maiden over: a set of six pitches delivered by a bowler in which no earned runs are scored.

golden duck: A duck is term used to describe a batsman if he is out for zero runs. If he is out in the first ball he faces, it is called a 'Golden Duck'.

la dicitura \"see defintion\" si riferisce alla relativa voce nel glossario che ti ho riportato in fondo.

mi sembra quasi inutile sottolineare che i termini si lasciano in inglese.
