I think the Free Hit Rule should be extended to include Beamers, surely a dangerous head high full toss from a fast bowler is a worse sin than overstepping the popping crease, and as such, it deserves to be punished with a Free Hit.
Well fre-hit should be also bought in test cricket and also wides should be punished with free hits...
No I don't think there should be a free hit for wides because it's kind of harsh.Well fre-hit should be also bought in test cricket and also wides should be punished with free hits...

Hmm, you could argue that no-balls should be something that a bowler should control, whereas beamers can happen to anyone, but a bowler at professional level should be able to control bowling beamers as well. Maybe because, as said earlier, beamers are less likely and so shouldn't be penalised when they happen, but if the point is to cut out errors then this should be punished as well.Zorax, you may feel they are accidentally bowled and almost all of them are, but I don't think many bowlers intend to overstep the crease but they still do.
