1 (in sports, especially cricket) the act of hitting the ball off the edge of the bat:
The umpire couldn't hear the snick and, to everyone's astonishment, gave him not out.
He eventually induced a catchable snick from the batsman.
It was a big snick and needed the umpire's raised finger to persuade the young batsman to depart.
The wicketkeeper has just failed to reach a snick.
Then it grew louder, and suddenly there came from the window a sharp metallic snick.
With a clumsy motion of a long hairy arm he reached out and snicked on the button, then placed himself within its deadly range.
Again the drunken chauffeur, still master of his machine despite the poison pulsing in his dazed brain, snicked the little levers further down.
The wheelchair rolled slowly toward a blank wall, and an invisible door snicked open just before it arrived.
