Quarter seam refers to a seamless join between leather pieces on the surface of a ball, running perpendicular to the main stitched seam.

Quick, in the realm of cricket, traditionally denoted a bowler who swiftly completed their over. In recent years, it has come to signify a fast or pace bowler. Interestingly, a traditional quick bowler often also bowled slowly, delivering slow deliveries. A fast bowler, in the contemporary sense, was usually not considered a quick bowler in the traditional context due to their longer over completion time.

Quick cricket is synonymous with kwik cricket, denoting a faster-paced version of the game.

A Quick single occurs when batsmen rapidly run between the wickets to score a single run.

Quota signifies the maximum number of overs each bowler can bowl in limited overs matches. It is calculated as the total number of overs in the innings divided by five, rounded up if necessary. In One Day Internationals, the quota is 10 overs, while in T20 matches, it is 4 overs.

Quotient, also known as runs per wicket ratio, serves as a tie-breaker in some first-class tournaments. It is determined by dividing the number of runs scored per wicket lost in batting by the number of runs conceded per wicket taken in bowling. In limited overs tournaments, this is equivalent to net run rate.a
