it happened in a match i umpired....it was the last over of the match....6 required to win..bowling team risked the over with a bowler who has unfair action.bowler's action was very much unfair that i had to call no ball...no one complained and the fielding team wanted to replace him immediately since not much runs left for him to be called noball thrice and removed...but I educate them the laws...how ever they continued with him and lost the match.some fumes were there after the match over this thing..was there anything wrong in what i did??share your valuable opinions colleagues

From what you've said, you've applied the Laws perfectly -obviously I can't comment on the details of the bowler's action.
If the fielding side are desperate to change the bowler mid-over, he could either "suddenly develop" an injury, or get himself suspended, most easily through time-wasting. Obviously both of these are against the Spirit of the game.

If the action's unfair then you have to call no-ball and there is no way the fielding side can elect to replace the bowler once he's started his over. As tippexii says there are circumstances which could trigger a change but they are likely to be against the Spirit of Cricket. ...If the fielding side are desperate to change the bowler mid-over, he could either "suddenly develop" an injury, or get himself suspended, most easily through time-wasting. Obviously both of these are against the Spirit of the game. Wouldn't it be difficult to get taken off through time wasting? Can the initial warning and suspension be given in succession without another delivery intervening? I doubt if it's ever been tested but would suggest that the answer is 'No'. If the time-wasting gets to the 'second' stage without another ball surely there's a case for considering whether it constitutes a refusal to play and for both umpires to approach the fielding captain to suggest that he's in danger of losing the match unless his bowler gets on with it.

It isn't the easiest thing to do, to ascertain a straightening of less than 11 degrees, so commend anyone with such superb judgement they can do so without all the necessary electronic apparatus used for clearing a bowler's action by their associated board of control. In the match you umpired viswajith, I would question the sanity of the captain, risking such action in those circumstances, unless he wanted to lose the match anyway.

gooders : it was a t20 match and the side was chasing 190 odd...they had no better option than this bowler...he was notorious for his bowling action from his early days....but the captain may hoped that in this crucial juncture,the umpire may not call him...but it was very clear and visible with the naked eye and I was left with no option,but to call him....

I'm curious as to why your colleague at the bowlers end didn't take responsibility for explaining the laws
