Cricket's new rules - why dead ball?

A batter's movement will be restricted to within the pitch, or the delivery will be called dead. "This is restricted so as to require some part of their bat or person to remain within the pitch," the ICC said in a statement. "Should they venture beyond that, the umpire will call and signal dead ball.


so if the batter is moving about and off the pitch the bowler is penalized by having his bowling action disrupted?

am i reading this wrong?
