TFC in cricket humorously refers to "Thanks for coming," acknowledging a player who may not have significantly contributed on the field.
The term implies appreciation for a player's presence and effort, even if their performance didn't involve batting, bowling, or substantial fielding contributions. According to the provided text, it is used when a player only makes "really excellent jogs from third-man to fine-leg" but is still appreciated for helping the team.
This is further explained:
- TFC stands for "Thanks for coming".
- It is a lighthearted way of acknowledging a player's minimal impact on the game.
- The term is appreciative, recognizing the player's contribution simply by being part of the team.
In essence, TFC is a tongue-in-cheek expression of gratitude towards a player whose contributions might be more symbolic than statistical.
