A '''Chinaman''' could be mean, literally, a "man from [[China]]'. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]'') However, it had an entirely different meaning in the sport of [[cricket]]. In that context it was, as the [[Fifth Doctor]] once explained to [[Turlough]], a "[[off break]] ball bowled by a left-hand at a right-handed [[batsman]]". ([[BFA]]: ''[[Phantasmagoria]]'')
