or the umpire on the ground just looks up at the batsmen and the 3rd umpire reviews every ball that is bowled for a no-ball

Unfortunately I think your right

There would be some kind of mic maybe the stump mic that the captain and batters could communicate with the umpire upstairs when required.

It's a given, they basically just hold sunnies and jumpers nowadays, they even go upstairs to work out whether it was a 4 or 6.

Yep jumpers and sunnies could go in one of the old school unground helmet boxes that use to be on all grounds.

All decisions could such as four, wide etc could be displayed on the big screens!!

But by the third umpire looking at every ball, it may improve the on-field decision.

Guess the thing is if they're missing so many no balls that wickets are falling on, then how many other no balls are being missed, and this is unfair on the batting side re their score and what might happen on the extra ball, but also on the bowler if they aren't aware they are just creeping over to be able to amend it before a wicket falls and only that one is reviewed and called

Aussies getting desperate now 2 reviews in 5 balls, both missing by more than a bees dick easily.

And the commentators now stating it's in the Aussies mind they know they will win the test just a matter when

Terrible reviews but they had them up their sleeve as they get reset after 80 overs.
