| FPT Beamer |
Today Powell bowled a beamer (above waist) the umpire called noball, but no caution was given. The umpire clearly said that there was no caution because the delivery was a slower ball. A slow paced delivery can pass above the waist without attracting a noball call? Is this something in the playing conditions of the FPT? max.it |

Yep. ++++++ 31.1.2 Law 42.6 (b) Bowling of high full pitched balls, to be amended to read as follows: Any high full pitched ball (regardless of its pace) which passes or would have passed above waist height of the striker standing upright at the crease shall be called and signalled No ball by the umpire at the bowler's end. In addition, if the high full pitched ball is fast, it shall be deemed dangerous and unfair and the umpire at the bowler's end, in addition to the call and signal of No ball, will adopt the procedures of Law 42.7.7. ++++++ AFAIK there is no definition of 'fast'. In one-day internationals, a slow ball above waist but below shoulder height would not even be called no-ball. Andrew |

Probably more like something to do with attempted yorkers and slow low full tosses, deliveries with a high chance of going wrong. max.it |
