They need to rethink the no ball rule in general. If they initiate the above, if a batsman hears a no ball call and knows he can’t get out caught or bowled etc, he’s going to try to play a risky aggressive shot. To get that overturned after the event wouldn’t be fair on the batsman.

I’m assuming the system they need (but would be cost prohibitive) would be the tennis fault calling system.

How hard is it to have something, maybe a buzzer in the umpires earpiece, and just have the third or fourth umpire sitting there tapping a button when a no ball is bowled?

Umpire doesn't even have to look at the line, and the camera is set up perfectly for it. And the earpiece is already there. They may not call it as the ball is bowled every time, but they'd get it right.

What if a bowlers heel was behind the line but not touching the ground? would that a fair delivery called a no ball.

De Silva with a braindead Australianesque heave and out lbw on review. A Sri Lankan miracle was on the cards but that's most likely the game now. Really dumb shit.
Edit-wicket next ball lol. Sri Lanka 7/206 and toasted.

They steal a 2, 20 needed.


This will be the greatest last wicket partnership in the history of test cricket if they get up.

Fap De Penis went full Ricky Ponting out there, absolutely woeful captaincy.

Just let old mate tee off and put no pressure on Perera at all, spread fields even on ball 5.


I am drunk on Saffa tears after that one.
