See here's the problem with this decision. If Roy misses the ball and it harmlessly goes through to Paine the over is called and England miss out on a run and free hit extra ball.

The question has to be asked is how many no balls are not being called hence how many extra runs are missed?

That's the problem, for all we know he could've bowled 4 no balls in that over but only gets pinged on the one that counts

Umpiring standards and or coaching standards are at an all time low and is that because of technology, media scrunity or a combination of both, well I don't know.

agree

umpire saw fit to have it reviewed so he obviously saw it

why cant they use technology like in tennis OR have 3rd umpire look at every delivery stride and signal to the on field umpire

??? My eyes must be going. Thought he must have hit it because it looked dead straight with the batsmen walking across.

Edit: too high. No appeal from bowler though was weird.
