Things that sounded like they were going to be a big deal in cricket and then weren't

Starfighter

Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
England and Australia's new up-and-coming openers: Haseeb Hameed and Matt Renshaw.

On that note, sadly it seems like Will Pucovski may well be on this list too
 

Furball

Evil Scotsman
The teesra.

& Warnie's "zooter" too; which I personally suspect only existed in his imagination, but that didn't seem to prevent Richie (RIP) from picking it from the hand.
In fairness I think towards the end of his career Warne just made up names for balls that went straight on, more to get in the heads of opposition batsmen.
