A versatile word with several concrete meanings across different English-speaking contexts. In cricket, a trundler is a steady but unspectacular bowler — someone who reliably gets the ball down the pitch without the pace or swing to trouble batsmen much. More broadly, a trundler is any wheeled device designed to be pushed or rolled along: a shopping trolley in New Zealand, a garden cart, or a luggage trolley all qualify. In each case, the connection is to 'trundle' — the gentle rolling motion that defines these devices and players.
