Yep. The big problem I see with getting the balance right is also that the umpire...

should be warning the bowler once he's no-balled - I always do as umpire (all though I did get sacked for being trigger finger, but like to think I'm fair) and then show him where his foot is landing. The no-ball is just something that does the game no favour's at all if you see what I mean. Gives the bowler a chance to redo their run-up. With what you're saying Jim, that would tie in nicely, as soon as it's pointed out to the standing umpire, they can tell them. Honestly it will happen when there's a close game where they have been missed.

- Why doesn't the third ump give it real-time? (n/m) (Other Sports) - Higher Wrather, Aug 21, 18:34:55
  - It's up to TV to show every no-ball and embarrass them into sorting it out (Other Sports) - Higher Wrather, Aug 21, 18:44:32
    - Totally agree HW, suppose I just think it should be embedded in the game now as soon as.. (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Aug 21, 18:47:01
  - Well, yep, same thing, tech would show it, third umpire would inform standing umps. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Aug 21, 18:35:47
    - It is very strange it's not been sorted by now imo. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Aug 21, 18:36:18
      - Agree. Not as if the third umpire has much else to do. Would be easy (Other Sports) - Jim, Aug 21, 19:52:36
