Billy Bowden;316525 said:All we can ask of the umpires is to be consistent and base their decisions on the Laws of Cricket. I heard there were some shocking decisions made in the St Andrews v Melton Centrals B Grade game and that is no good for all involved. If both teams think the umpire was very bad all you can do is put a report in outlining all his errors and recomend he should be umpiring lower level cricket.
As for LBW's, there is no better person than the umpire to judge them. He stands behined stumps and gets the best view. It is impossible for fielders fielding square of the wicket and players and spectators on the boundry to have any idea whether it is out or not.
