It's not as though it's a problem part of the game: a bowler over-steps, he concedes a run and an extra ball. Fines might be useful as an "in-team" method of discipline, but that's all.David Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378763233797445502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-67853898943041171852008-01-23T16:58:00.000+01:002008-01-23T16:58:00.000+01:00Am adding you to my roll... cheersAm adding you to my roll... cheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-73604614345742576742008-01-23T16:52:00.000+01:002008-01-23T16:52:00.000+01:00hi David... those numbers looked interesting becau...hi David... those numbers looked interesting because I was of the belief that the free hit had indeed considerably reduced no-balls, though am totally against penalizing bowlers who are already robbed of everything good for them.<BR/><BR/>Apparently, many in the umpires/ref panel had passed their views that fining them did not bring much effect in containing this problem. So what do you feel can be done about this, especially in a test match. A huge or 100% match fees cut?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
