no balls height
just wondering if anyone can confirm what the actually rules for no ball over a certain height. I was under the impression that for a fast bowler it was no balls for full tosses above waist high and spin/slow bowlers it was shoulder height.
A couple of the guys at my club seem to think that it is now a no ball for any full toss above waist high regardless of a bowlers pace. The mcc book i have would seem to confirm the former but it may be out of date.
Also is it up to the umpire which balls are considered fast in this case? I would guess the umpire would probablly take batsmans ability into account to say if it was a dangerous ball or not as well though.
