If you permit...Points one and two are fair enough.<br /><br />If you permit me to disagree, I shall do so with points 3 and 5.<br /><br />As regards point 3, I would be loathe to tinker with the dead ball rule unless it is universally applied to all legal deliveries and not just limited to Free Hit ball. The argument of double punishment, again if you permit me to disagree, doesn't hold water - the bowler has been punished for bowling a no ball and the byes or overthrows are penalty for the team. That penalty to the team is because that is how the laws have described it. If change is to be instituted, let it include all legal deliveries and overthrows or byes be disallowed for all legal deliveries and not just the spot case of Free Hit just because bowler has already been punished. Let the ball be dead in cricket the moment it touches the wickets.<br /><br />What then if it came off the pad? Would leg byes be permitted by this discussion? Off legal and illegal deliveries and Free Hits? Since the bowler has been penalized, a case may be there to declare the ball dead the moment it touches something - wicket or batsman's body and apparatus. <br /><br />The Free Hit was indeed introduced to check the menace of no balls and all were agreed to some method of penalty - what shape it takes was up for wise minds of the game, and they came up with Free Hit as a solution.<br /><br />Point 5 would have to be incorporated into the line-call replays. There are recommendation to that effect if I am not mistaken. Till those recommendations are part, I guess things will be as they are.<br /><br />Point 4 - well Free Hit is meant as a penalty and the idea must have been to replicate the situation. The idea behind Free Hit was to penalize the bowler and fielding team...not to evenly spread the punishment. We could do away with it instead of complicating it. But this is a new invention and could be open for discussion as regards improvements.Soulberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830619858224129215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645282373545856222.post-65609653098316770352010-08-17T23:17:20.617+05:302010-08-17T23:17:20.617+05:30Totally agree with you on all of the five.Particul...Totally agree with you on all of the five.Particularly the 1st and the 5th.Freehithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455487889119203881noreply@blogger.com
