41.9 TIME WASTING BY THE FIELDING SIDE

There are number of legitimate activities which occur when the ball is dead
    a conference between the captain and bowler
    fielders moving between overs
    fielders moving for right and left-handed batsmen
    bowler walking back to his mark
    adjustments to the fielding positions
The bowler's end umpire has to decide whether the fielding side is taking too long for these activities and if so, a quiet word with the captain will usually be accepted

If the umpires need to take official action, the captain should be informed that it is a TEAM offence and is cumulative throughout the innings
