Cute! Thanks for the Wikipedia link, Frank - a nice bit of cross-cultural education for me. Cricket commentators sometimes use that terminology for a series of quick catches or passes of the ball eg between wicketkeeper and slips, and for some reason it has a RAF (royal air force) association in my head -- something to do with those old black-and-white movies starring Kenneth More or John Mills.
