No ball ffs

[dedja]

no ball FFS!

[valleys07]

****!

[dedja]

the umpire should call it all the time or STFU ...

[the joker]

I wonder how many dismissals over the journey have been no balls. Since the umpires check, it seems to happen alot

[Phantom Gossiper]

I orginally used to dislike the review rubbish - and i still do to a degree, but FFS this bowlers are professional cricketers!! They get paid $$ to do this!! HOW **** HARD IS IT!!

[cripple]

Bowler error no one else to blame but pattinson. I like the idea that any no ball shouldn't be called until the scoring action is complete.

[dedja]

pissed off much?

[westcoastpanther]

Team mates should all get to punch him in the face...

The speeds though that it all happens, I can understand the umpire not being sure. Having to look down, then up again to pick the ball up for an LBW or caught behind decision. I have no issue with the way the umpires are handling them, but the bowlers shouldn't be that close. At that level it surely isn't too hard to bowl with your front foot half behind the line most of the time.

I've been saying for years the front foot no ball should be done electronically. I've no doubt it can be managed with the technology available. Have a beep in the umpire's ear, then he can call it immediately without having to ever look down.

Would've loved to see Lyon have 2 or 3 overs before lunch

ramshambo?

I vote yes!

[Phantom Gossiper]

And stuff all those ex players and current commentaters that are rubbishing the No ball rule and saying just a little over is basically ok.

obviously haven't seen the drink driving ads on tv little bit over is not ok!

Has anyone thought the extra inch or so over the line and the fraction less reaction time might be the reason there are so many wickets fall on no balls

Bowler shouldn't cheat, there's a line there, stay behind it.

Shane Warne would've had a ton to his name instead of a HS of 99.

And that one was by a fair distance. Not mm as this test match has had on several occasions.

Good point raised by someone on cricinfo, in the past the ump would call them all the time & they would adjust but now they only find out they have bowled a no ball when its checked if there was a wicket. Umpries need to be calling them all the time IMO

Time for the bowlers to wear Iron boots and have a Magnetic crease .. If they don't stop in a hurry it was a no-ball
