popping creasen.

Brit.

/ˈpɒpɪŋ kriːs/, U.S.

/ˈpɑpɪŋ ˌkris/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: popping n.², crease n.²

Etymology: < popping n.² + crease n.² Probably associated with pop v.¹ 1 'to strike': an old method of completing a run involved the batsman striking his bat against a staff or bat held by the umpire; alternatively, the popping crease is the crease at which the batsman (earlier also 'striker') stands to receive a delivery. Sometimes related to a supposed former method of running a batsman out by placing (or 'popping') the ball in a hole between the two stumps originally set on the bowling crease, though this is not substantiated by contemporaneous documentation.

Cricket.

A line marked on the ground at each end of the pitch, four feet (approx. 1.2 metres) in front of the stumps and parallel with the bowling crease, at which the batter typically stands to receive the ball.The popping crease is considered according to the laws of the game to have unlimited length, although the mark on the ground is usually only slightly longer than the bowling crease. A batter with some part of the bat or body grounded behind the crease cannot be given out stumped. A bowler must (under the current laws) have some part of the front foot behind the crease at the non-striker's end in the delivery stride for a delivery to be legitimate.
