All no balls should be a free hit
Don't like that idea, it would make test cricket far too like limited overs crap. It should be enough that the batsman can't be out off the no ball (apart from a run out obviously).
I think it's fair enough for this rule to be brought in, it's been too inconsistently policed when bowlers have done it with some wickets still being given while other bowlers, like Finn in particular last summer, allowed to get away with it until they take a wicket. At least now there can be no debate over the matter. Finn just needs to adjust his action to stop it happening, which it seems he's now starting to do.
A free hit would miraculously cure no ball problems
Then why do no-balls still occur in ODIs and T20s?
Of course they still appear but I bet they would be double if there was no free hit.
