If footage was available to the 3rd ump constantly he could let the ones in the middle tell the bowler he was too close or over.

Either way, it is extremely unfair on the bowlers who literally have no other way of knowing that they are overstepping except for the umpire. As it stands they may overstep several times without being aware of it, only to have a wicket overturned because of a no-ball.

Extremely unfair? Lol

Umpires should also tell a batsman when they're getting close to being LBW, so that they know they should move their front pad outside the line of offstump more.

Dunno why would you declare just 460 ahead with 7 wickets in hand and 2 full days to go

Rubbish.

But I'll give you a serious response - the umpire helps the batsman mark his guard. He refers to that when taking his stance. A batsman can see the line of the stumps when he is batting. There is plenty of information there to help him gauge where his stumps are. On top of that he has a non-striker to talk to.

Bowlers have no information to work off apart from the umpire when it comes to bowling no-balls. No fielder is looking at their foot becuase, even assuming they had a view as good as the umpire, they are all focused on the batsman in preparation to field a ball hit to them. The bowler himself can never tell where his foot is landing. The non-striker isn't going to help him out for obvious reasons.

Umpires ****ing up no-ball calls is extremely unfair.

Nah, its not the umpire's job to tell the bowler how to do his ****ing job, with all the work they do in the nets and coaching they get.

When I bowl I have a decent idea when I'm pushing the line. Playing lower level club cricket with player umpires I often have a pretty strong feeling I'm getting away with no balls. At the same time though, having to deal with front foot problems is the absolute worst, so you tend to just forget about it until it starts costing you.
