Two laws could apply.

Law 24 - No Ball.

6. Ball bouncing more than twice or rolling along the ground
The umpire at the bowler's end shall call and signal No ball if a ball which he considers to have been delivered, without having previously touched the bat or person of the striker,
either (i) bounces more than twice
or (ii) rolls along the ground
before it reaches the popping crease.

7. Ball coming to rest in front of striker's wicket
If a ball delivered by the bowler comes to rest in front of the line of the striker's wicket, without having touched the bat or person of the striker, the umpire shall call and signal No ball and immediately call and signal Dead ball.

I bowled such a ball to Bando (Bo for short), and when I went to pick it up, he met me half way down the pitch and delivered a thundering blow to the skull with bat.

I have been horribly disfugured since then.

The rules were changed after that delivery to prevent it happening again.

Despite my head injury I was able to bowl the deadliest donkey-drops known to man.  Then suddenly the rules changed and all my wicket taking donkey drops were declared no-balls.

Last time i went to cricket training sum guy said i had good pace but could bowl faster if i made my jump at the end of the run up smaller. I am reluctant to do this as it may just mess up my technique and i can often get some bounce from the high release of the ball. Any advice?

I've also been told this, and after having done this for the opening part of the season I can tell you it's done me no good at all, I'm bowling slower than i was and it's completely messed up my line and length
