Reckon there has been a dozen that I’ve seen this morning
I'd prefer a machine to call it like they do in tennis, I'd sooner see the umpire looking ahead the whole time.
I actually don't mind looking for no-balls when I umpire. Granted this is at a lower grade where it gives you plenty of time still to look up.
By looking down you get a good feel when the bowler goes wide on the crease, or comes in tight, etc.
Helps you understand what he is doing with it and how to come up with an excuse to give your mate batting not out! haha
