With ya on this doona, and some of the bloody lbw decisions are having an impact on the younger players, they hate ( as we all do) getting fired out to a shocker just as there getting there innings going, its not good.
My buddy at the hill was telling me there umpy on the weekend made good decisions but was over the top with the players, arguing with some, and at one piont telling the bowler to just bowl the ****ing ball.
My buddy at the Hill vs B'Ford game was telling me the umpire did a fantastic job. a couple of young Hill bowlers didnt enjoy getting called for wides on deliveries down leg and were spraying the umpire for calling them throughout their bowling innings. after an onslaught of redicule the umpire finally said, 'im the umpire so i umpire, you're the bowler so u bowl, i dont tell you how to bowl...how about showing some respect!'
the umpire deserves praise for his actions...he was extremely consistant with his calls for the entire days play
my advice for the young Hill bowlers would be, dont bowl down leg side and you wont get called for wides!!
