Referring No-Balls

[Noobz0r]

If you've watched the RSA vs India test series then you'd know that test cricket is far from losing it's appeal. Decent crowds and an amazing contest (besides today).

AFAIK they don't have the referral system, which is the argument.

Great test series though, enjoying it more than the Ashes actually!

Maybe they should force the non-striker to pay attention and be the one who calls for a review if he thinks it was a no-ball. Will stop then sneaking so far out of the crease. If they are wrong they lose a review as per usual.

You seriously think a team should risk wasting a referall on a line ball no ball decision?

I'm more surprised teams don't call it as a rule for the last wicket.

Would be amusing (though another dagger in test cricket) if the number X1 batsman is clean bowled and calls for a review

They seem quite happy to waste them on hugely optimistic LBW referrals?

They can still refer no balls though.

Leave only lbws to umpires: Tendulkar

And I agree with this, Tendulkar is all for the use of technology, and this is a good idea.

Don't agree with that. It means that for every caught behind decision they'll go to the third umpire. Would take way too much time. Overs will go for 10-15 minutes if your name is S Sreesanth.
