How did you go last nite? Back in the 2's?

thats true but at least theyre the official umpires making the mistake with less impact on teammates if it was a player umpire doing it.

it still may change a match situation though as we all know.

yes, thats true also. it just doesnt exist because players i think are too afraid to give their teammates out. if hes in front, give it because its the RIGHT thing to do.

no still out of favour, tobb. playing 3s sunday out at the "snake pit". reckon i'll need a 100 & 5 for just to make the training squad for the 2s!!!

one final thing, have you played against barney (andrew phillips). he knows you well, brother!!

i hope his nickname isn't "trigger"

at least you two agree with me on this most contentious issue. what are you supposed to do if the batsman is plumb... you have it give it, theres no other choice!! not give it & then theres a riot on your hands...

thats it. noone is prepared to umpire anymore because of the aggression towards them. ive heard some shocking stories of umpires being set upon after games when the result had bearings on finals/chance to play finals.
how bad was the behaviour, tobb??

ive heard he goes alright, dizz...

Well I guess if you use your bat instead of your pads.........hmmmm.... but I do agree, if 1 of our players gets hit and I KNOW it is out, I would give it.

IMO, the behaviour of players has not been too good for the last 5-6 years. I have not seen anything physical towards an umpire, but more just general behaviour. I mean players continue to carry on after a decision is made be it for or against, they just go too far instaed of getting on with the game. And I have no doubt that the higher profile players in the comp get "looked after". Or should I say get away with more.

3's mate..... and Sunday?? Oh well, good luck.

good to see it all come together for you on saturday Rossy!

8.4-1-17-7... fair effort, tobb. thats an analysis bowlers dream about in one dayers!!

hey dizz, how did sean sutton go? was i right in saying hes a capable umpire??

DizzyGillepsie · 11 Jan 2009, 20:17

foo... sean sutton was a no show mate

fooey5for10 · 11 Jan 2009, 20:29

you wonder why umpires do that - the chance of cash in hand & a lovely day out in the sunshine just doesnt do it for some of them. perhaps he had a better offer elsewhere??

DizzyGillepsie · 11 Jan 2009, 20:45

how'd you go yesterday in the snake pit?

Its nice to get wickets without having to bowl 28 overs!! A couple of good catches helped!! Thanks boys.

I cant understand why the umpire didnt show up. As far as I know, not even a phone call to United cricket club??
