A scale out of 11 used to determine how dangerous a ball that is bowled without bouncing is. To achieve high on the Newtonmeter the bowler must fill certain criteria such as
Quick
Aiming for the chest or head
Hitting the Actual Player
Striking the genitalia
There has only been one 11 since the scale was invented in 1984, bowled by Newton himself whilst playing for Lancashire county in England against Sussex.
