Sreesanth escapes huge no ball

Is it really possible to bowl a no ball by the amount that Sreesanth bowled it, and not realise? He was already fined half his match fee for his shoulder brush with Vaughan, but I would argue that was the lesser incident of the two. Everyone that has ever bowled knows that you just pull out of your run up if you are going to bowl a no ball by that amount - it is not possible to over step by that much without it being deliberate in my opinion.

You would have thought that with so many ex-players involved in the administration of the game, one of them might have pointed this out?

Sir Botham did say so on TV and none of the other commentators disagreed with him.

strange that the match referee didn't feel it was appropriate to take action then...
