Offslaught

Meaning: Using defence as a form of attack in a cricket match.
Usage: A gritty offslaught from Mubarak can save the day for Sri Lanka.
Pronunciation: Off-slot.
Root: From onslaught.
Note: A google search reveals that this word already exists. But my take is this word has never been defined in a cricketing context.
