For our American friends. Bowlers in cricket will routinely keep one side of the cricket ball shiny by rubbing it on their trousers - it helps the bowler to swing the ball through the air - hence the red mark on this fellow's trousrs.

Not sure what accent they would sound the same in, tbh. The vowel sounds are different, for a start.
