Expensive a bowler who concedes a large number of runs in his overs Extra a run not attributed to any batsman; there are five types: byes, leg byes, penalties, wides and no-balls. The first three types are called 'fielding' extras and the last two are called 'bowling' extras which are included in the runs conceded by the bowler. Full toss a delivery that reaches the batsman on the full, i.e. without bouncing. Front foot contact is the position of the bowler at the moment when his front foot lands on the ground just prior to delivering the ball. Free hit a penalty given in some forms of cricket when a bowler bowls a no-ball. The bowler must bowl another delivery, and the batsman cannot be out off that delivery (except by being run out). Between the no-ball and the free hit, the fielders may not change positions (unless the batsmen changed ends on the no-ball).
