Staggers me that the 3rd umpire does not simply check every delivery and alerts the central umpires if there is a doubtful one and he needs time to review, would save the farce at Adelaide Oval where every dismissal was checked, cant blame the central umpires they are obviously told to check and be cautious...

Makes you wonder how many they miss when there is no wicket....

Have thought this for a long time.
3rd umpire watches each ball and alerts umpire through ear-piece. No-ball is called a split-second later than a "live" call, so in a wicket-taking situation it means the call comes through just as the keeper, slips and bowler are converging, rather than when the bowler is just out of his follow-through, ie a touch later but still "in the moment".
The front-foot no-ball has virtually eliminated the free-hit, so that wouldn't be an issue.
Agree that it has the potential to help the on-field umpires make better decisions, at least it is worth a try to see.
