Your answer is incorrect.
Another thing that I forgot to mention is that you have only 3 tries. After that you shouldn't post any other answer to a single question. I'll add it to the first post.

 

[Neo 7]

will you post answers

 

[CerealKiller]

will you post answers

Yes, if a question isn't answered correctly in 12 hours.

 

[Neo 7]

but someone could also google

but someone could also google

I hope sportsmanship will prevail. If someone is stupid enough to Google the solution, I can't do anything about it.

My answers:

Two basics
1. Front Foot
2. Waist height.
3. 3rd Bouncer in a single over
4. Breaking field restrictions.
5. Bowler runs through danger area completting his runup after release(should be warned previously)
I don't know anything more...

Nice idea for a thread. Testing my memory here. I think there is quite a few:

Front foot over crease line
Back foot breaking side of pitch line
Over waist height (beamer) I'm sure this used to be shoulder height for slow bowlers, but doesn't seem to be the case any more!
Bowler breaking the stumps in delivery
Too many short balls in the over
Illegal action (Chucking!)
More than two fielders behind square on the leg side
Too many fielders outside of the ring in limited overs matches
Wicket-keeper having gloves in front of stumps before batsman plays a shot (I think!)

All that and I still think I've forgotten one.

The last one is incorrect, and you missed four instances.

Yep, you're missing one. It's a quite basic one, though.

I ain't no more a that thing...

Bowler breaking the stumps in delivery

It's actually a dead ball? I'm not sure, but you don't get a free hit on the next delivery after having that happened. P.S.: Also there's no extra run as a result of it.

That would be changing the root bowling arm without notifying the umpire?
