***** exaggerating his outrage as per usual these days. The no ball thing annoys me a lot and it obviously can throw a bowler off his run up, but nowadays bowlers know that umpires aren't calling no ball's unless it's a wicket. Therefore, if the umpire isn't calling no balls on non wicket taking deliveries, it does not necessarily mean his foot is behind the line. Bowlers just cannot make that assumption any more, because they know umpires aren't helping them. With this knowledge in mind, they can't then have a wahhhh. Just adapt and get your foot behind the crease.

yup
ramdin is a good player tbf, but his worst is really really bad. he was averaging 40+ with the bat and taking good catches for a while there.

Haha this is so true. Is the no ball thing annoying? Yeah. Is it worth making posts and posts about in overly emotive language? No

They work in the nets to perfect their runup to a tee. Make it such a part of their muscle memory that they could bowl in their sleep.
They then go out to the field, measure it out in steps, drop a marker at the point from which they start their runup.
Sometimes mistakes happen, and they drop that marker down a little too close to the crease, and as such when they run in to bowl, they overstep.
Sometimes they're not in perfect rhythm, and are adding/losing a step somewhere in the runup.
Either way, they cannot tell they are overstepping until and unless the umpires call them. Once called, they can re-measure their run up, drag the marker back a bit, make the adjustment and return to normal.
It's not like they're bowling no-balls in the nets and then carrying that bad habit into the field. That's not how bowling works at all. Bowlers never look at the crease when they run in. They make sure they're starting off their runup from an appropriate distance to ensure their foot lands behind the line. Sometimes mistakes happen. This isn't something that will be fixed by coaching. The umpires just need to do their ****ing job.

TBF I've noticed some bowlers recently now bowl from well behind the crease. I think they're realising that umpires aren't going to be calling them properly, and so the risk of toeing the line isn't worth it. Will take a while till it catches on all over though.
Still sucks.

Should have a fielder stationed next to the non striker at all times IMO.
