Should umpires intervene with bowlers if the batsman is incapable of playing short pitched bowling?

[WengerOut]

On seeing SL lower order batsman, Embuldeniya repeatedly getting hit by short pitch bowling after ducking into it, Michael Holding was saying in the days gone by, umpires would've intervened with the bowlers and stop bowlers from bowling bouncers. He reckons that should be the case today also regardless of 2 bouncers rule.

What do you guys think?

I don't think they do. Last thing the bowlers want these days is the umpire telling them what length should they be bowling.

Why even have bowlers just have bowling machine and let whoever scores most runs win the match.

With all the protective gears available, and bouncer restrictions for a batsman per over last thing we need is umpire intervening for this. To be fair even SL top order batted like that against Australia. Short ball is a wicket taking option because you are attempting to force the batsman to go off the backfoot so that you can dangle the carrot in the next few balls. You are taking away that wicket taking opportunity.

It happened in 1983 World Cup Final , when Marshall was warned by umpire after he went after Sandhu (no.11 ) batsman. I don't think there is need for it anymore. The most dangerous ball currently is beamer (full toss above waist height). There is severe penalty against bowler bowling beamer repeatedly.
