You do have a point. Let's petition the ICC together!

The bowler gets an unfair advantage by going over the line when bowling and this increases his chances of getting a wicket.
Batsmen take a risk by standing forward of the line (i.e. getting stumped) or charging bowlers so that is deterrant enough for some batsman. Take the Collingwood wicket the otehr day as an example (charged up the pitch at Warne, missed the ball and was out stumped on 96)
The other reason is that it adds excitement to the game to see someone like a Pieterson charge Shane Warne or Ponting step forward a step or 2 and hit a bowler out of the ground. (or if you an old timer like me, my hero Dean Jones).
They are agruably the most exciting shots in cricket. Would you like to miss out on that?

While the rules of cricket has given defenitions regarding No Ball, no such defenition has been stipulated regarding the stance of a batsman. By standing far away from the wicket, the batsman is taking huge risk as there are chances of him getting out stumped if he misses the ball and the wicketkeeper collects the balls and dislodges the bails before the batsman getinto the position of safety.

when a batsman leaves his crease he is risking being stumped to a spinner or runout if the keeper should throw down the stumps b4 he goes back behind the line.
if he stood halfway down and missed it this would happen. also the closer he stands the less time he has to react to the ball being bowled, making it more likely he will play a wrong shot and get out.

You don't know the rules!
when you bowl the rule is.. your front foot can't go over the line
when you bat there is no rule to stay in the batting crease.. but you take the risk of being stumped

the no-ball does not count as he is charging down the pitch.The umpire must have made a wrong decision.
