Bowler's Crease
The Bowler's Crease is a line marked on the cricket pitch, located at each end, where the bowler delivers the ball. It is crucial for determining whether the bowler has overstepped the line, which would result in a no-ball. The crease is typically 4 feet (1.22 meters) from the stumps, ensuring that the bowler maintains a fair distance during their delivery.
In addition to the bowler's crease, there are other important creases on the pitch, such as the Batsman's Crease and the Popping Crease. Each crease serves a specific purpose in the game of cricket, helping to regulate play and maintain fairness. Understanding these lines is essential for players and officials alike.
