cajón del lanzador
"Once the bowler has the ball and holds it in the air inside the box of the bowler
the runners can not progress past the post to which they are running."
I doubt if there is an "official" Spanish term.

Box -- Curiously known in cricket catalogues as an 'abdominal protector', this is a batsman's best friend and the first piece of cricket equipment a new player should own.

My bad previously. Ok. The only other reference I can find, even in English, to a Bowler's Box in Cricket, is on the score card. Here:

Note from asker:
| Muchas gracias, DrRyan... buena referencia... pero la cosa se supone que va en el sentido de la zona donde el lanzador lanza... supongo que algo parecido o equiparable al "mound" de un "pitcher" de béisbol. |
