Fine with Over stepping

Vekatesh Prasad- the bowling coach of the Indian Cricket Team has announced a fine for the Indian bowlers bowling no balls. Every bowler has a partner in the form of a batsman and every time a bowler oversteps he and his partner have to pay a fine of 50 dollars each. I guess the partner of Ishant sharma is Gautam Gambhir. I don't know the partners of other bowlers.

Only time will tell whether this fine will help in bringing down the no balls. Also the players have to be fine with the fine. I am not sure what happens with the 100 dollar so recovered.

Had the fine been imposed by West Indies in the 80's and 90's I wonder the batsmen will be fighting not to be partners with Curtly Ambrose and Partick Patterson.
