🤦‍♂️ and gillys 23 avg? Think you pick the reality you want becasue you dislike warner as a person ..
The reality is that Gilly's 23 is still 2.5 times more than Warner's 9. And Gilly wasn't even batting in the top 6.

What's Warner as a person got to do with it? He averaged 9.5 - way worse than any of the 2005 batters and Gilly. Very few batsmen survive a 5 test series averaging 9.5 letalone the next series.

Stupid the way it is officiated. Pull him up for all his no balls, not just wicket balls. Then bowlers can adjust before it gets costly.

They’re trialling the third umpire giving all no balls in some ODIs either coming up or happened recently. Think that is the way forward but given the third umpire couldn’t get it right in three minutes yesterday who knows how well that’ll work. Got to be better than what it is currently.

His 23 is also exactly half what Warner averaged the previous tour to England. Just had a stinker.

Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to have the 3rd or 4th Umpire watching a live side-on shot of each delivery. If they see a no-ball, they tell the on field umpire immediately. Means, as others have said, the bowler can adjust and come back further to prevent no-balls on wickets

Front foot no-balls are really frustrating to see from a bowler anyway. That extra 5cm isn't making any difference at the end of the day

Get the on-field umpire to call them, and let players still appeal. The third umpire can take a look then.
From what they were saying yesterday, the third umpire can't negate an on-field no-ball call. Allow that and the on-field umpires might call a few more.
