[from answers to correspondents] Does the rule bearing on calling balls convey the idea that one ball must be called for every three delivered? Or must three unfair balls be delivered consecutively before one ball can be called? … The rule requires the umpire to call a ball on every “third consecutive ball.” Thus, if the first ball is over the striker's position, the second on the ground, the third a “fair ball,” and the fourth over the striker's head, a ball is to be called on the fourth ball. Only unfair balls are to be counted.
