In cricket, the danger area, also known as the protected area, is the central part of the pitch where the bowler delivers the ball. It's a rectangle that runs down the middle of the pitch, starting five feet from each popping crease and measuring two feet wide.

The danger area is important because it affects how the bowler bowls and how the batsman responds. The bowler must avoid running on the danger area after delivering the ball, as it can give the Bowling side an unfair advantage. The umpire will issue warnings to the bowler and their team captain if they run on the danger area, and may eject the bowler from the attack if they continue to do so.
