It really should be called the "every other body part excluding the hands before wicket rule" but using far to many letters in a acronym is simply confusing.

Free hits are stupid. Kiddy cricket. Should just stop there, but ...
Voodoo's point about the nonsensical nature of scoring in act of being 'dismissed' is valid.
Scoring runs from an act of normal dismissal during a free hit is just retarded. justified because .... because you are punishing a bowler for not being good enough the ball before. Doing this by rewarding a batsman for being not good enough this ball.
Mental non-logic.

@Rapido agree I've never liked the "free hit" rule, definitely feels like kiddy cricket trying to discourage no-balls as much as possible, has no place in the professional game.

The problem was with the amateur / semi-pro era and all these no ball deliveries were snagging wickets and weren’t getting called. Then there was the debacle period when bowlers were bowling consecutive no balls in both test and ODI’s without much disincentive to it other than conceding one run. There has to be a strong disincentive for it in my view and perhaps it’s removing the free hit and making it worth 2 runs. A bit like when penalties in rugby went from 2 to 3 points way back in the day.

Just watched another replay of that Maxwell hit and he is a very lucky boy. He copped a sharp shortish ball that was rising and it slightly hit his glove/handle and went into his neck when he slightly turned his head.
