I've  just  received  the  official   reworded    amendment  slip
concerning Law 42.9.

The old  law  is  replaced;  now  a  bowler  will  be  no-balled,
cautioned  etc.,  regardless of intent, if he bowls a beamer. The
original amendment was ambiguously worded, and  the new   version
defines the beamer as,

".. a ball that passes, or would have passed, on the  full  above
waist height of a Batsman standing upright at the crease."

Also of interest is that EITHER umpire may call no-ball  in  this
case.   (Only  other example I can think of is that either umpire
may call no-ball for throwing).

Thanks to (Umpire:-) D.W.Shepherd@bradford.ac.uk on r.s.c.
