21.5 FAIR DELIVERY - THE FEET

For the delivery to be fair, there are a number of requirements for the landing of the feet in the delivery stride

All requirements must be satisfied or the bowler's end umpire will call and signal No ball

The umpire is only concerned with the landing of the feet and any further movement is ignored

BACK FOOT
    It must land inside the return crease and not touch the crease
FRONT FOOT
    It must land with some part of the foot behind the popping crease
         and
    land on the same side of an imaginary line joining the 2 middle stumps as the return crease
