NO BALL
A bowler stepping over the popping crease and him chucking are two different offences. The bowling end umpire would call a NO BALL for overstepping of the foot and usually the striker end umpire would call a No Ball for chucking.

Is the "leg empire" called "striker end umpire" as well?
'leg umpire' and 'square leg umpire' termsare NOT used in MCC Laws of Cricket. These are terms mostly used by desis. The proper terms are Striker end umpire and Bowling End (or non-striker end) umpire.
I, however, prefer the leg umpire and umpire terminology.
