Noun

pea roller (plural pea rollers)

  1. A now-illegal delivery where the ball is rolled along the ground rather than bowled overarm.
  2. A mishit shot that travels slowly along the ground.
    • The ball was sent rolling towards the Millwall goal as if prodded by an 88-year-old in carpet slippers. This pitiable pea-roller hit a divot and Nigel Spink, their goalkeeper, kindly dived over it as it hobbled across the goal-line at precisely three miles per hour.1999, Mark Hodkinson, Blue Moon: Down Among the Dead Men with Manchester City, →ISBN, page 132
