The International Cricket Council is set to discuss the reviewing of no-balls with the controversial topic again rearing its head following Adam Voges' non-dismissal late on day one of the first Test in Wellington. Voges was bowled having shouldered arms to the fourth ball of Doug Bracewell's 11th over, the last of the opening day of the Trans-Tasman series. The delivery seamed in and hit off stump, but the batsman - still in his leaving pose as his wicket was disturbed - looked up and saw umpire Richard Illingworth raise his right arm to signal for a no-ball. However, controversy erupted when replays clearly showed Bracewell did have part of his front foot behind the popping crease. On numerous occasions, dismissed batsmen have been granted reprieves by the third umpire, who are sometimes called on to review the front foot for wicket-taking deliveries that have been deemed legal by the on-field official. But an ICC spokesperson confirmed there is no provision for the third umpire to overrule when the on-field umpire has signalled a no-ball.
