Turns out the umpire is a better judge than some of us.
I’ve never umped, but I was the lino in our school’s staff vs Sixth Form football match, getting ironically cheered every time I got the simplest of decisions right really made me appreciate professional match officials lol

As a" village" umpire who often umpires my own team's batting, rule of the thumb is that you give the plumb decisions (it's only fair) but ones that might be more towards the periphery of the stumps are very much not out!

some of you lads need to stop wetting yourselves. one really equals two when playing england because ollie pope has already had his his allocation of one good innings per series.

75-0 going at 5.50 an over

This is pretty appalling. Thats why I said England are massive favorites and we needed a 450+ total here

I haven't been an umpire either apart from indoor cricket where most people get to have a go at umpiring no matter how good or bad they are at it.
