Has anyone ever heard this term used in conjunction with cricket?

I was at a quiz last night and it was the only question we got wrong in the sports section.

I think I may have heard a commentator refer to a six as a 'homer'...sounds gay to me.

Hmm, never. I reckon it's boo-hockey... utter twaddle. I've read many a cricket book about 'back in the day'... reading excerpts from as long ago as the 1600s. Never heard it.

I'd have torn the place up.

I know. I was just letting my true colours come out - I think this fluffy nickname stuff is a load of gash - hence I go down the pub and beat up women.

Logical progression - do keep up!
