no-ball
Illegal bowling delivery
In cricket, a no-ball is an illegal delivery that awards the batting side an extra run and typically grants the batsman immunity from most dismissals on that ball.
Bowlers commit no-balls by overstepping the crease, straightening the elbow illegally, or bowling dangerous bouncers: The umpire called a no-ball for overstepping.
The term extends to similar illegal deliveries in rounders.
