If the standing umpires are no longer calling no-balls shouldn’t the batsmen be afforded the luxury of a free hit next delivery?
Even the fraction of a second that the batsman would get in the event of a no ball call would potentially allow him to swing with gay abandon....in the current setup the batsman is losing that advantage and the bowler is only conceding the extra..

Yeah I think so, or introduce a 3 strike policy per bowler each innings.
1 NB = 1 Extra.
2 NB = 2 Extras.
3 NB+ = Free Hits.

Good suggestions
I can even go with 2 runs for every no ball for simplicity.
When a batsman doesn’t score off the free hit, the bowler ‘gets away’ and I don’t think it was meant to be like that...

Am I free to hit you?
This is TEST cricket, keep de 6 or out cricket in its place.

I've been saying that for a while. I've even suggested WI implement it in their 4 day competition to lead the way.
