What Is The Definition Of Arm Ball In Cricket?
1. A delivery in which the ball is bowled slowly, but is not spun, so it travels on a straight path even after bouncing on the pitch.

An arm ball is named as such because it’s path goes in the direction of the arm, similar to the concept of follow-through.
