The term "front foot" is commonly used in cricket, a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players each. In this sport, there are different types of deliveries or ways that the ball can be bowled by the opposing team's player to the batsman. The front foot refers specifically to one such type of delivery where the bowler releases the ball with his or her front foot in contact with the ground and facing the batsman, thereby making it an easy pitch for the batter to hit the ball.
