What is an "edge"?
In cricket, an edge refers to when the batter unintentionally makes contact with the ball using the edge of their bat, rather than the flat part. This often results in the ball being deflected toward the fielders, especially the slip fielders or wicketkeeper, and can lead to the batter being caught out. Edges are typically considered mistakes or mishits, but they can sometimes result in scoring runs if the ball falls safely.
Example
The edge was caught by the fielder.
A slight edge was enough for the catch.
He got out with an edge to the wicketkeeper.
