What is the origin of the idiom overstepping the mark or line?

Asked by basstrom188 (3985points) November 29th, 2016

Does it mean same as my previous question on crossing the line?
There seems a lot about its meaning but not its origin. It may have something to do with the position of the bowler’s foot in the game of cricket but I’m not sure.
