"law 7: the creases". this law sets out the dimensions and locations of the creases. the bowling crease, which is the line the stumps are in the middle of, is drawn at each end of the pitch so that the three stumps at that end of the pitch fall on it (and consequently it is perpendicular to the imaginary line joining the centres of both middle stumps). each bowling crease should be in length, centred on the middle stump at each end, and each bowling crease terminates at one of the return creases. the popping crease, which determines whether a batsman is in his ground or not, and which is used in determining front-foot no-balls (see law 21), is drawn at each end of the pitch in front of each of the two sets of stumps. the popping crease must be in front of and parallel to the bowling crease. although it is considered to have unlimited length, the popping crease must be marked to at least on either side of the imaginary line joining the centres of the middle stumps. the return creases, which are the lines a bowler must be within when making a delivery, are drawn on each side of each set of the stumps, along each sides of the pitch (so there are four return creases in all, one on either side of both sets of stumps). the return creases lie perpendicular to the popping crease and the bowling crease, either side of and parallel to the imaginary line joining the centres of the two middle stumps. each return crease terminates at one end at the popping crease but the other end is considered to be unlimited in length and must be marked to a minimum of from the popping crease. diagrams setting out the crease markings can be found in appendix c.
