bilby commented on the word belter
Cricket jargon - a wicket that is good for batting, i.e., for belting the ball around the field.
I can't think of an equivalent term for a wicket that is good for bowling. Bowlers' wickets are more likely to be described with specific terms, e.g. sticky dog, greentop, two-paced, etc.

The sparrow's a bird of the city;
She's small and indifferently pretty.
Despite what is dealt her
She's still a big belter -
La Môme Piaf doesn't need your pity.
