The umpire must now see that the batsman, when striking at the ball, is standing within his new position, viz.: within a space of ground six feet long by three feet wide, located at one foot distant from the home base. Should the striker step outside of this position while striking at the ball the umpire must call “foul strike” and three such strikes puts the batsman out; and if by such a foul strike he hit the ball fair or foul, he shall be declared out.
