What is a cricket umpire signalling when he holds out one arm horizontally?
Umpire (cricket) the bowler's end umpire. Either umpire may call, and signal, no-ball, for a ball that is illegally delivered (bowled), although each umpire has unique jurisdictions. The most usual causes for no-balls are foot faults or a ball passing above a batsman's waist without bouncing, each of these being under the bowler's end umpire's jurisdiction. The square-leg umpire will rarely have to call a no-ball, as his jurisdiction is limited to infringements that very rarely occur. The signal is to hold one arm out horizontally and shout "no-ball"; the idea being that the batsman is aware of the no-ball being bowled.
