A ball bowled so as to bounce on the pitch on or near the batsman's popping crease.

In cricket, a Yorker is a delivery where the cricket ball bounces on the cricket pitch on or near the batsman's popping crease. Since a batsman in a normal stance has his feet on the popping crease, this means the ball is bouncing very near his feet, which makes the ball difficult to hit with the bat.
