2. If the bowler delivers the ball directly to the batsman above waist height, without pitching on the ground. The umpire will call it a no ball.
3. If the bowler reaches the allowed rapid short pitch bouncer deliveries, the umpire will call a no ball.
4. If the opposite umpire believes the ball was thrown or delivered underarm.
5. If more than two fielders, excluding the wicketkeeper, are present behind the popping crease on the on side when the ball is delivered, it is considered a no-ball.
