Somewhat derogatory cricket slang for a medium or slow-medium pace bowler.
Quick as possible explanation for Americans unfamiliar with cricket:
Bowling in cricket is like pitching in baseball, except you run in and bowl overarm with a straight arm. You have to make the ball bounce. The bowler is trying to make the batter hit a catch to a fielder, or knock over the stumps (3 wooden poles) behind the batter. The distance between them is 22 yards.
There are generally 2 types of bowler: fast, pace or quick bowlers who run in as fast as they can and bowl the ball straight. International-level players bowl at 85-95mph. Spin bowlers use the fingers or the wrist to put spin on the ball and make it change direction after it bounces. Usually bowl at 50-55mph.
Then there are the "medium" bowlers, who generally combine the disadvantages of both (not as fast as the pace bowlers, but there is also no spin on the ball). They are essentially slower versions of the pace bowlers - 65-75mph.
Dibbly-dobblers can sometimes be useful if they are accurate, but are usually good for smacking all over the field. They are often used as a gamble which quite often backfires, hence the name.

In the 1992 World Cup, New Zealand used a trio of medium pacers, Rod Latham, Gavin Larsen and Chris Harris who were jokingly referred to as Dibbly Dobbly and Wobbly.

Get the dibbly dobblymug. Australian term for briefs, Speedo bathers or any other skimpy men's underwear that makes the wearer's package look like a bag of mixed lollies. Bad news for unfortunate witnesses.
Other useful terms are tighty whities, budgie smugglers (awesome mental picture that) and banana hammock.

If I put a 2 litre donk and a 5-speed cog swapper in my Renault 12, it will go like shit off a shovel.

Get the cog swappermug. A most unwelcome honour, a member of the Suede Patch Club is a bloke who has not had sex for so long, his gigantic balls need a suede patch sewn on to the underside to protect them from rubbing on the ground.

Get the Suede Patch Clubmug. Just about the worst show ever made, along with Charmed and the Gilmore Girls. The idea that this girly-lipped, staring poof could ever be the future Man of Steel is bad enough, let alone using the Superman story to make a fucking soap opera for teenagers.

Get the flogmug. Used to describe an erection so hard that even a dingo (Australia's native wild dog) couldn't damage it.
Given the silliness of the expression, it's usually used to describe extreme enjoyment of an activity not related to sex, such as a sporting triumph.

When the Cats won the 2007 AFL Grand Final, I had a boner a dingo couldn't bite through for the next week.
