Kick off the deck
Ishant to Ponting, out Caught by Tendulkar at 1st slip!! touch short of good length delivery on the off, angling into the right hander and then leaves him just a bit at the last moment, sharp kick off the deck for Ishant, Ponting gets forward tentatively and looks to defend it, outside edge and the ball flies straight to 1st slip, Sachin Tendulkar is the man there and he doesn't drop those, Ishant removes the Australian skipper yet again, terrific cricket, amidst all Harbhajan-Ponting contest, this young man seems to be stealing the show
The margin was out to a percentage building 68 points when Lovett kicked another, then Lloyd added to his tally a minute later. The Blues fans were leaving in droves, but the Bomber faithful were loving every moment! Lucas thrilled what was left of the 83,407 fans with his third goal, a kick off the deck without picking up the loose ball that once again brought the red and black army to their feet.
Could you please explain to me what "kick off the deck" means in these contexts?
The first one is cricket context and the second one is football context.
